White Smoke Watch 2025

[Tablet County]

You're all sleeping. None of you have considered the true dark horse option.

Guys, listen, this is how Bernie can still win the papacy ...

Also, why can't I vote for Cardinal Pizza in the poll?

 

[Vince McMahon]

And about 10 minutes before the traditionalist realise he is going to keep all those niggerpriests who like to rape those white women around in places like Germany, America, France etc.

Just elect the complete globalist faggot already, its going to be more of that anyway so why bother wasting peoples times.

Are you completely terminally online and buckbroken or just ever so slightly?

 

[Vassal]

If the movie Conclave taught me anything, it's that the next Pope is going to be the intersex Mexican candidate.

 

[Angelos32]

I’m kind of worried after hearing that Francis stacked the college of cardinals with his own supporters, but at the same time fundamentally it’s an election by a bunch of old dudes that really nobody can predict afaik. And with the general societal trends(especially gen z) I hope that’s enough for a conservative to be elected.

 

[Otterly]

tagle or Turkson I think will get it
I would prefer cardinal Sarah, but I doubt they’ll pick him.
I would like a proper fire and brimstone pope.

 

[otherdispair]

I pray for Sarah, but whom ever sits on Saint Peter's seat I will recognize.
The Pope doesn't make doctrine and it's by the doctrine of the Church not by headlines that we should live our lives.

 

[The Gene Genie]

I think anyone who thinks Sarah will be the next Pontiff are wishcasting and not really being realistic. They’re going to pick someone who is aligned with Francis and his papal agenda to continue it. My guess is Parolin, as he’s a safe pick. Tagle is way too out-there, and I think they want to keep threading the needle like Francis did.

 

[Dana scully]

My bet on the asian guy, they will never appoint a conservative pope ever again most of the cardinals are hand picked by francis

 

[Local Farmer]

There have been a handful of Popes who were voted in because they were thought to be moderate but then became ardent Traditionalists, Pius IX-X and Benedict are perfect examples of that

[Amerikaner Teddybär]

Are you ready for ze New World Order Faith?

 

[Preacher ✝]

Anyone remember GWAR's various references to black pope?

The term 'black pope' is a nickname for the head of the Jesuit order.

It originated from an old conspiracy theory that they secretly ran the whole Church and the contrast between the Popes white robes to their black robes. This was during a time when they were the largest and most influential missionary order.

Since then it has basically become a Catholic inside joke.

 

[Yet Another Wanker]

My hypothetical vote is for Cardinal Pizzaballa first off that's an amazing name. Second it would be an FU to Israel and the USA. And third he's a great guy.

[Overly Serious]

I'm not a catholic so it's not my place to judge, but I feel democracy shouldn't really have a role in this. Voting is a human judgement. If they truly have faith - and a cardinal should - why don't they just roll a die, or stand on a rooftop in the next storm holding metal rods. Let God indicate his Will.

Or if they want human input, just fight it out. The Old Testament is filled with tales of God lending strength to his favoured one. Go Samson on this - last standing is pope. It would be more... Biblical?

 

[geckogoy]

It would be more... Biblical?

Its not biblical at all anyway so may as well let the upper echelon vote on it to pick the option that is the least collectively annoying to them and not pretend

 

[Rekieta’s Broken Penis]

"Cardinal Marx", ain't it pottery?

Heaven help us, ANYONE but the Krauts.

Yeah it’s a real vase.

 

[Meriasek]

Remember, folks.
Black smoke means no one was picked.
White smoke means someone was picked.
Big Smoke means you gotta follow the train, CJ.

Red smoke means it's the Antipope Zlad.
The age of the candidates doesn't matter. The world ends in 2027, and all that matters is that the Pope is suitable to lead the righteous in the final days.

Not a Catholic, but God works through men's wills. Pilate put Jesus' crucifixion up for a vote after all. Acts 6 has deacons selected by the will of the whole assembly, of which voting is a formalization.

Or if they want human input, just fight it out. The Old Testament is filled with tales of God lending strength to his favoured one. Go Samson on this - last standing is pope. It would be more... Biblical?

If you actually want to argue biblical for selecting a pope, the Roman Catholic position is that the pope is a successor of an apostle, and the only time an apostle is replaced in the Bible is in Acts 1, where Matthias was selected by lottery. I can see why the Roman Catholics might not want to follow that example though.

Also you might want to brush up on your Bible, I have no idea what connection you are drawing between Samson and the duel and/or battle royale situation you are envisioning apart from Samson killing a lot of Philistines. Elijah and the Baal worshipers is about as close to a contest as I can think of off the top of my head.

I referenced Samson as a Biblical example of God granting his chosen great strength.
