He killed the last one lmao

The day (or the day after, can't remember) he visited the previous pope, the pope died.

Vance had a visit with the last pope at the Vatican, right before he died. At the time, Francis was trying to get him to acknowledge biblical teachings to love your neighbour (and I think that ICE was the antithesis of this), and not the vaguely dystopian stuff Vance was pushing about only only offering respect/kindness/compassion to the people closest to you.

Its quite poetic actually. The popes last action was to make one of the most evil men alive turn away from evil. And then the pope dies the next day.

I mean, ... it's not like he was successful.

He was quite successful with his dying. He did it on the first try, unlike his boss.

Very true, failed to turn Vance away from evil though.
