— Pope Leo XIV, on X.

The Sistine Chapel’s been sealed for the conclave.
If it’s anything like the movie, it’ll be a rave.
Of course, I have no hope
Of influencing the choice for Pope —
I’d pick the African, the drunk or the hermaphrodite. Who’s your fave?

Vance at the Vatican

JD Vance is a Catholic convert and mealy-mouthed acerbic dope.
He went to the Vatican on Easter to meet the pontiff, he hoped.

By Monday, we were posing one question, which is,
Did JD Vance somehow kill our favorite Argentinian Pope?

Pope’s No Dope

Pope Francis is cool — his own luggage he carries,
And he eschews limos for cabs, buses or ferries.
And when it comes to celibacy
He’s got some flexibility,
He’s willing to talk about priests getting married!
