5. The majority Catholic vote went against life-long and faithful Catholic Joe Biden.

It went instead to the amoral, criminal, philandering, non-religious, internet troll, conman Donald Trump.

Now he publicly mocks their faith and trolls them over the death of their Pope.

Go figure.

My hope is that they will learn from this, but they didn't learn from his last go-round as President.

than the conservative nuts who currently seem to have stewardship of the faith. I really hope the next Pope follows in the footsteps of Pope Francis.

For whatever reason, a bunch of zanies have decided that a pre-zygote cluster of cells is more important than actual church doctrine. History will not judge them kindly.

12. I'm going with a big WTF is going on with this bizarre pope picture?

I'm not sure it is meant to mock the church. To do that would require, on Donald's part, a subtlety of mind that I don't think he possesses.

I think Trump is the ultimate Dunning–Kruger effect specimen. In his fevered mind he clearly sees himself able to handle the pope's job. He has already been anointed by the American god. The rest of the world just needs to get on board.

What I'm getting at here is that he is bat shit crazy.

Good night and good luck.
