Pope didn't say Thank you.

White Pope robes? Don't you know how to wear respectful clothing?

[–] RelativeArea1@sh.itjust.works 29 points 1 month ago

Same as Liz Truss killing the queen. Sometimes, when you're old and in poor health, you just experience something that makes you think "fuck it, I don't need to put up with this shit anymore."

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 87 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Lol .... this is it

When you're at the end of your life and hanging on the edge looking for a glimmer of hope .... then you get visited by an absolute tool that is only motivated by greed and power and represents a general apathy for any kind of humanity ...

you just think to yourself, "yeah, nah, this isn't worth it any more"

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 23 points 1 month ago

Especially if you genuinely believe in an afterlife. At some point, you think, "Why am I tolerating this tool? I got MUCH better places to be."

[–] NorthernDreams@lemmy.world 158 points 1 month ago (10 children)

Just want to point out this is what furniture in the Vatican looked like before Pope Francis

And then after Pope Francis

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 73 points 1 month ago

Yeah, as far as popes go he was pretty chill

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 47 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Still needed a way to finance a billion dollar corporation with tens of thousands of prime real estate all over the world managed by a legion of professional clergy all managed by a central office that is it's own country at the center of one of the most expensive cities in the world ..... all while spreading the message of piety, peace and being humble.

As much as everyone likes to glorify catholic leaders, they're still a mafia force that is based on money and wealth and Christian faith last

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 50 points 1 month ago (9 children)

For sure, but as long as the mafia exists (which looks like it's going to be for a good long while still) I want it to have the leader who will do the most good possible, even if it's still a net negative. There are those out there who would use the resources to do a lot of harm.

If anyone really cares, that's because Pope Francis was from the Jesuit Order. The first pope to be one. They swear poverty among other things, so the golden chair wouldn't look appropriate.

He had his eye on a really nice couch in the lobby.

The pope asked the Trump administration to be kind to immigrants and the poor. Can't have talk like that from the church.

Realistically, no, but I still think it should be said frequently with sincerity.

[–] tauren@lemm.ee 56 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Pope refused to join his Signal group.

[–] Krackalot@discuss.tchncs.de 17 points 1 month ago

He joined the wrong signal group. Vance only realized when the pope asked "what's up with all the couch pics?"

[–] kittenzrulz123@lemmy.blahaj.zone 52 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He killed him by being near him

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 20 points 1 month ago

Remind some of this

[–] mp3@lemmy.ca 51 points 1 month ago (1 children)

The Pope showed him his latest meme

JD Vance Moisturize Me

[–] Feelfold@lemm.ee 49 points 1 month ago

JD didn't do it on purpose. The most reasonable answer is the Pope accidentally walked on JD in a tender moment with a loveseat. The Pontiff laughed himself to death.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 47 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I don't think it was on purpose the Pope was just too frail to be in the same room as that much cringe. Frankly it was irresponsible of them to allow Vance anywhere near him.

Death by cringe

[–] VinesNFluff@pawb.social 39 points 1 month ago

JD Vance just existed

The pope died of cringe from experiencing Vance's presence.

[–] kikutwo@lemmy.world 34 points 1 month ago

Pope met the antichrist and said I'm outta here.

[–] 1984@lemmy.today 28 points 1 month ago

Vance took off his human mask and showed the pope what a demon looks like.

[–] bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 28 points 1 month ago

Probably not because the Pope didn't say thank you. Zelensky is still alive. He probably didn't say please as well.

[–] cupcakezealot@lemmy.blahaj.zone 27 points 1 month ago

the vatican couch was plush

[–] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 26 points 1 month ago (1 children)

To get a right wing replacement, duh.

[–] aceshigh@lemmy.world 25 points 1 month ago

The pope didn’t thank him

[–] barneypiccolo@lemm.ee 25 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Vance is too stupid to kill him, he'd fuck it up for sure. Did you see him drop Ohio State's trophy the other day? The guy is a total fuck up. He'd end up putting the Iocaine Powder in his own tea.

Nah, it was someone in his entourage that did it.

Rearrange the letters in J.D. Vance and you get VADJECAN

[–] LordOfLocksley@lemmy.world 22 points 1 month ago

Same reason Liz Truss killed the Queen

[–] SoftestSapphic@lemmy.world 21 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Talking to sex pest Jimmy Dilbert Vance is so exhausting it takes 10 years off your life, the Pope didn't have 10 years left.

Obviously Vance wanted to fuck the Papal seat. The pope tried to explain that he couldn't just let Vance fuck the chair of St Peter. Vance did not like this answer.

He's both a subordinate of the Anti-Christ and Russian asset. He was called upon to kill the pope to initiate the Pope election process that they can manipulate in order to get a more "pro-apocalypse" Pope in place.

He probably didn't even do it on purpose. But I'm sure he did it.

[–] baggachipz@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

The pope realized that no just or loving god would let that couch fucker anywhere near any position of power, so he offed himself out of depression.

Obviously he was hoping to take his powers.

[–] FrankFrankson@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

The Pope had this really hot couch and JD fell in love with it at first sight. JD asked the couches father (the Pope) for the couches hand in marriage. The Pope, thinking this was a strange joke, laughed at JD's request. This filled JD with rage so he slit the popes thoat and began fucking the hot sofa.

As he bled out the pope was forced to watch the repeated violent defloration of his favorite piece of furniture.

because the pope wouldn't give him his couch

That pure malice that emanates from JankyDick is not recommended for anyone over the age of 80.

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Vance is pure evil. Pure evil needs to feed to sustain. In the face of pure evil the pope lost all hope and then Vance fed upon his soul.

Because Biden is catholic

[–] hansolo@lemm.ee 13 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

As a vampire, he has to drink the blood of a pontif to remain a daywalker.

He should now sparkle in the sun for another...6-8 weeks before needing to feed again.
