From the link:

Quote
Nichols acknowledged that the 135 cardinal electors — 108 of whom were appointed by Francis — don’t know each other very well. The last 20 were appointed in early December.

Talk about stacking the deck.

Since I'm not Roman Catholic, I have no dog in the fight. Nonetheless, I think I'd prefer to see the papacy go to someone more in the mold of John Paul II. Francis had good intentions, but at heart he was a communist and didn't adhere very closely to Roman Catholic theology.

"Talk about stacking the deck."

Huh?

He appointed them, so... they're going to elect him Zombie Pope?

I'm not sure what you're saying.

Of the cardinals who were eligible to vote and who elected Francis, I believe that something like 99% of them had been appointed by John Paul II.

Now that was a stacked deck. But what he was stacking it for... No clue.

I've renamed my AR-15 to MS-13 so Democrats will protect it.

I saw a Pope Donald video today that started with orange smoke coming out of the Sistine Chapel chimney.

If you ever needed more proof the left doesn't have a sense of humor they're flipping out over the Trump as pope images which is rich considering they routinely mock and poop on anything to do with Christianity.

Even richer when Obama's face routinely replaced Jesus' face or the face of saints, or compared Obama to Jesus on a metaphorical basis, and the left absolutely found so much religion at that time...

The one that I absolutely HOWLED at, though, was the depiction of Leonardo's Last Supper where Judas was replaced with Obama.

Unfortunately that one didn't stay around long before the left wet it pants. I can't find it anymore.

^^^   Dang, and Trump was doing such a great job as President.  Sorry to lose him to the Vatican.
If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

Beat me to it by 1 min 9 seconds.  Runner-up demands a recount, claims white van backing into loading dock contained "recently-found" ballots.

Viva il Papa!

Congratulations, 1.406 billion Catholics !

I guess we'll see. I was kinda hoping for an African Pope that would hopefully return to traditional values. Plus drive the commies crazy for not being able to diss his christo-fascism because he'd be black.

I'm not Roman Catholic, but I was hoping for a religious conservative, too.

After watching the movie 'Conclave', it is interesting that Cardinal Prevost was chosen so quickly.
