Well at least he did the right thing and condemned and brought to justice all those catholic priests that are pedophiles and totally didn't spend millions of dollars protecting them right?

Good. Fucking. Riddance.
Yawn. My buck says the next one is a Nazi. Any takers?
Well, the previous pope was a member of Hitler Youth, though he was conscripted like everyone his age. So yeah, I wouldn’t be surprised if the next one was a proper full-fledged Nazi.
Watch trump claim he's the next pope...
But Trump isn't even Catholic
So?
The pope has to be Catholic, right?
New Executive Order just dropped: Trump declares himself officially Catholic.
He could be an antipope.
Actual pope? Seems likely, at least practically. The pope is also the Holy Sea, the head of the political body of the Vatican.
Trump can and does claim all sorts of impossible things. Sometimes he threatens enough to make them happen.
Sucks that his imaginary friend can’t help him
I wonder if the guy who registered popesfuneral.com during the last years of John Paul II’s papacy has held onto it.
