I think that’s basically what’s going on here. I have to believe the Good Doctor is in full fledged panic mode that the gravy train is shutting down and looking for every desperate way possible to ensure it doesn’t.

What would happen if Pope Leo was somehow elected as the next POTUS in 2028. Would he have to abdicate his papal status? Would Vatican City become the 51st state?


The Catholic Church forbade its ordained clergy from holding civil elected office some time ago. There was once a Jesuit Congressman in the US.

Of course, I guess the Pope himself could change that.
Yeah, the whole "revelation" aspect of it was quite goofy. It was still sort of interesting on the whole sociological perspective of the black/sort-of-black New Orleans creole phenomenon.

You could go to the 7th ward right now and see this dynamic.. not the passing part but if you didn’t know some of them personally you could see how they could be mistaken for white


I read this interesting book about a NY Times writer from the 50s and 60s, whose family was from the Treme/7th Ward area and basically did the same thing as this pope's family.



His daughter sort of wrote it as a 'Holy shite, we're black!' revelation memoir, having grown up in Northeast white society circles her whole life.
It's sort of great. They back doored a black dude into the papacy through old New Orleans black Creole society. :lol:

It gets even more interesting, his mother's family came from NOLA and moved to Chicago around 1910 where they could pass as white.


7th Ward was sort of the tipoff here.

Guess you need to wishcast harder next time. Sorry it didn't work out like you hoped. I guess there's still a chance of a big crash coming down the pike. :cheers:

Some weird considerations for fine dining in here. I would recommend Paladar 511


Fact is, New Orleans does not really have a "fine dining" Italian place at this point.

Paladar 511 is probably my favorite Italian in town at the moment as well, though.

That’s very measured for Trump.


Did you expect him to come out shitposting on this an hour after the announcement?

Geography probably played a big role. Pope Leo can be claimed as the pope of the Americas.


That was the rationale for Francis.

He went to Villanova in the 70’s. My guess is he’s conservative. The school was pretty based back then.

He’s had an odd run on this board throughout the years, seemingly much like his life if even some of his stories are true. I do miss the less bitter version but Trump got him all twisted up


You could still occasionally eke out a reasonable take from him, but he had devolved to about 95% just nonsensical rage posting.

The problem is, I'm not even sure how it makes sense as "satire." :lol:

It was just freaking nonsense.

I guess the first clue could have been the fact that the supposed damning statement didn't make a lick of sense.
I'd love to get as up in arms as everyone else about this, but I would like to have just the slightest clue as to what it could possibly be referencing.
