Wow that's fucked.
Pope Palpatine was a meme day 1
You know, if I had a nickel for every time a Pope looked like Palpatine, I'd have too nickels. It isn't much, but it's kinda strange that it happened twice.
“Everyone loves America right now, it’s the perfect time for an American pope!”
-The Vatican
Sounds like the opposite reasoning may have some truth:
"Cardinal George of Chicago, of happy memory, was one of my great mentors, and he said: 'Look, until America goes into political decline, there won't be an American pope.' And his point was, if America is kind of running the world politically, culturally, economically, they don't want America running the world religiously. So, I think there's some truth to that, that we're such a superpower and so dominant, they don't wanna give us, also, control over the church."
Because the Vatican should make its choices based on Secular politics and your fee fees instead of character.
It’s all made up fantasy and bullshit anyways, no need to get worked up over old men cosplaying, and it is actually based on secular politics and feelings, and money. that’s religion for ya.
Perhaps they hope he can rein in American Catholics?
The church is on board with all the anti-abortion stuff, but the rest not so much
We had the Palpatine Pope, now we get the Sheev Pope.
And in between we had the high sparrow.
That's the same profile of every old white man
You know, I really had fun in Rise of Skywalker purely because Palpatine returned. I didn't even mind the hand-wavey way he was brought back, because it meant Palpatine was about to Palpatine all over the place.
I had the same color kippahs at my bar mitzvah.
One of the few tolerable scenes.
I love Star Wars. My whole life. I couldn’t get through it.
And now he has....UNLIMITED POWAAAAAAAA
