What happened to Pope Francis?
And so today we're going to be going through the history of the conclave, where it came from, why it's done in the very strange, ritualistic, and secretive order that it is. Where all the different cardinals are from, the prospective popes.
What is the conclave process?
We're going to go through their backgrounds, their political histories, what they believe, who the liberal ones are, who the conservative ones are, who likes who, and who is the most likely person to actually get elected as pope. And finally, we're going to go through everything you need to know. A to Z. What does it take to actually become the Pope?
Welcome to God.
what's up everybody welcome back to camp we're not in our traditional setup in the tent instead we're in uh an immaculate tanzanian palace here in here in uh atlanta georgia i'm joined by my good friend christoph how are you sir thank you i brought this shirt from home this is my favorite shirt it's my personal shirt is that is that exclusive uh that's her mess yes her mess no that's actually a custom shirt that was made by our good friend uh baby diva but what was your what was your name Exclusive baby diva.
Exclusive baby diva. I was wearing my good monster truck shirt, but they said that didn't fit the aesthetic.
Yeah, by they, you mean Jaime wearing a sleeveless.
He's wearing a sleeveless New York Racquet Club shirt. Yeah. So cool.
He's like, dude, your monster truck shirt is not going to cut it. Yeah, dude, we're talking about the Pope. You can't wear a monster truck shirt. Of course. And then, of course, thank you to Gabe and Thomas for making the cams work and Samir for welcoming us into his beautiful home. Thank you very much. The Pope is dead. Breaking news. I don't know if this is how you wanted to find out, but he is. That would suck if they just found out. Yeah, dude. What? Papa Francisco, he's been put on a t-shirt, man, so pour one out for the Argentinian legend. He's gone. And you know what happens when the Pope dies? Conclave. They wait three days to see if he emerges from his sleep.
No, they don't.
Who can be elected as the Pope?
They see if he looks at his shadow, and if he does, then it's going to be winter.
He died the day after Easter.
That's true.
So Jesus came back, and then he was like, all right, that's good enough for me.
Yeah, be like, yeah, we good. Peace. Yeah, I did my job. But Pope Francis is dead. My mom is... Is she devastated? I asked my mom, I said, is she devastated? Do you know what kind of Catholic my mom is?
A more conservative one who's not a big fan of the moderate papacy of... Pope Francis?
Pope Francis was like, I think dogs can go to heaven. And my mom was like, this guy's a heretic. Did he say, I think dogs can go to heaven? Like a little girl asked Pope Francis, like, Mr. Francis, I'm five years old and my little doggy died. Is he going to go to heaven? And then he was like, maybe. Yeah, well, that's the only answer. My mom was like, this guy has no spine. He's spineless. He's just lying. You have to tell a child that their dog definitely is not going to heaven. So I asked my mom, I was like, do you think Pope Francis is in heaven? And she said, no. She said, that's forgotten.
What are Cardinal Pietro Parolin's views?
Yeah, of course. That's the same answer to, did dogs go to heaven?
I was like, it's a high chance that he's the Pope.
It's a pretty good, if there is one.
