I dunno I just think if a seemingly innocuous film about cardinals assembling to vote in a new pope inspires memes like these it's worth a fucking watch

patho × bible lore Isn't It Funny how the apostles Petros (Peter/Pierre/Пётр) and Andréas (Andrew/André/Андрей) are brothers within their (biblical) canon and Petros (Peter) was at first named Simon but given a stone-related name by Jesus when he said "And I tell you that you are Peter (=stone) and on this rock (=stone) I will build my church" (= upon you apostle peter i will build my church) and isn't it funny how the Polyhedron was (spiritually/psychologically) built upon Peter's back at great cost to his sanity and how it was (spiritually) built upon/FOR Simon's body at great costs to everything else. I just thought this was interesting.

"Since you've named yourself after Julius fucking Caesar, perhaps I'll follow in your lead and choose one of the conspirators." "Interesting," says Giuliano. "Should I worry about finding you at the center of some kind of conspiracy that ends with my death?" "Not from me," replies Ascanio. He sounds tired. "Not anymore."

informally, some kind of. conversational follow up to the last comic. I'm trying to get the atmospheric conversational whimsy out of my system because I have a vision of the vatican as a body in active decay, a point of infection spreading out and poisoning the well, a jaw unhinged that people walk into over and over, and I am so close to figure out how to convey this visually. maybe.

Falling in love with the statues at the Vatican Museum is truly beyond words. That said, I’ll do my best not to flood everyone with endless photos from my trip to Italy — specifically Rome and the Vatican — though I must admit, I did take an overwhelming number of pictures.

it wasn't quite a dream, but more a rambling thought as i was falling asleep, but, was a cardinal like Machete ever asked to officiate weddings? I dont even know if thats a thing cardinals would be asked to do, much less had the personal for that kind of thing, but imagine being asked by a major political hardcore catholic family to do so and only accepting because you know your secret boyfriend is also attending as a political figure and you get to almost secret pretend its your twos wedding

I'm actually not sure, I've never thought about it. He'd definitely have the full rights to officiate weddings, you don't lose the eligibility to perform sacraments when you get elevated from an ordinary priest to a bishop and then a cardinal. But I think once you get into these high positions you kind of grow out of the priestly role and spend less time doing ground-level work. I imagine that weddings of important nobles and royalty were likely presided over by bishops and cardinals.

The scenario is endearing so I choose to believe that it could've happened.

Haven't seen the sexy Vatican City personification on my dash recently but this thought has been on my mind for months now

Scene: 1960 US presidential election. JFK is running to be Americas first Catholic president. Protestant Americans are afraid that a Catholic president would allow for the pope and the Vatican to control America.

JFK doing a speech to a small crowd of journalists: "Let it be clear that America shall never to be dominated by the Vatican or any other power-"

*commotion coming from the closet door behind him*

A journalist opens the door: A very disheveled protestant external crisis America come stumbling out followed by not as nearly disheveled smirking Vatican City

JFK with fingers pinching his nose: Already calling the mob to clean this mess up
