The Pope has died one day after courageously meeting the faithful for Easter. He also met with VP JD ( stands for “just dumb”?) Vance earlier this week prompting many Rumpole acolytes to ask on social media if the VP can go meet Putin?
Longtime and careful readers of the Blog know there is nothing that fascinates us more than the ritual and tradition after a Pope goes to meet his maker. The public destruction of his Fisherman’s Ring, the Conclave (literally meaning “with key”) of Cardinals - no less intriguing than the recent conclave of judges here in Miami to elect their next Chief Judge - and the politicking for the office - it all fascinates us.
But not lost in this was that Francis was a good man and a very good Pope. He brought the conversation of gay and trans people into the forefront of the Church ( so he wasn’t MAGA) and made the Papacy more open and less regal. For example his casket will be a simple wood one lined with zinc. Previous Popes were interred in an elaborate three casket creation. He will be first Pope in recent memory to have his body held not in the Basilica but in a smaller Church where he often prayed.
Keep turned as we will use our extensive contacts to get the latest on which Cardinals (you have to be under 90 to vote) are the front runners.

This Pope was a rock star for me. I am a long lapsed Catholic. But this man pulled me back in. His policies reflected a far truer vision of the teachings of Jesus than almost any religious man I have ever heard speak. Sure, he had his flaws like all men, and I would argue that he didn't go far enough. But his shoes will be tough to fill.
Fajardo rumored to be headed to Rome. Just sayin. …
Breaking. Trump says he should pick Pope.
Edit: Cardinals must be under age 80, not 90.
Pope meets JD Vance and immediately dies of cringe. How absolutely BASED!
Trump said he should be Pope.
Please send JD Vance to meet Putin, and Netanyahu. Lighting might strike twice or thrice.
I just watched The Conclave on the way back from Africa last week. Great actors, but the movie was just ok.
He modernized the church. He accepted liberal social norms that the church condemns.
The Catholic church is still failing to deal with sexual abuse cases and let us not forget years after a Canadian-government-funded commission found a detailed history of physical and sexual abuse of Indigenous children in the country's Catholic-run residential schools. Pope Francis did issue an apology. Hmm, like saying sorry is going to fix everything. I'm sorry but as a Catholic, I have not one ounce of grief. The Vatican is the most corrupt organization on earth and all who are connected to it.
If you put a T in front of Rump you get Trump. Something to look into.
That is probably the most ignorant comment I’ve seen on this judicial blog.
[A dark room, next to the Rose Garden]
[The man in a fedora speaks to President Trump quietly in the corner, Trump nods silently]
[JD Vance enters the room]
Fedora: Do you know how hard it is for me to get here?
Fedora: The Potomac is cleaner this time of year, and our submarines are not invisible. You know this. I told you to come to St. Petersburg...you will learn quickly to listen...
T: You guys have the best submarines. They are so sleek, they are fast, they are silent. Ours, barely can hit 55 knots...but yours...
Vance: St. Petersburg! I can't even go to Budapest without being called...
Fedora: You do what you are told, when you are told...
Fedora: 55 knots?...nevermind. Keep quiet,
T: You don't come here and tell me...
[Fedora turns sharply to T and begins to pull a paper from his pocket]
T: Fine...
Fedora: Vance!
Fedora: You did well with that Ohio State business. We know it was a difficult test for you...what...with football and you...Ohio...I am glad it worked out.
T: I had the greatest thing at that ceremony...the quarterback told me that all he needed was me...
[Fedora flashes his eyes at T, T stammers silent]
Fedora: Now that you have proven yourself, we need you in Rome. There is a job...
Vance: I have served, I will be of service...
[Fedora hands card to Vance]
Vance: Anything, but you told me I had more time...I just converted
Fedora: The time is now. Go.
[Fedora walks towards the back of room, T extends his hand, Fedora sneers and walks past, T lowers head]
[Vance looks at T, T now defiant, waves Vance off and leaves]
Vance: The fucking Italians will hate me now. Georgia promised me such things that dreams are made of - but now...fuck.
Suck it up guys, you still have 3.75 more years
Unless that fat f drops dead
