- It was August 1978. I was just entering high school. My father woke up my sister & I early - VERY EARLY - in the morning. “There’s a new Pope” he said. “The white smoke came out. Watch it. You may only see this once again in your life.” We are not Catholic. But my father was a political junkie. 1/
- BREAKING: Black smoke at Vatican, no pope elected www.msnbc.com/opinion/msnb...
- I was disappointed with the whole business as a kid - after I learned that couldn’t be a priest or Pope. And I saw the nuns doing all the work all around me. 3rd grader sizing it up.
- I was raised Catholic. It’s a bunch of political and religious nonsense. It’s 2025 and we need to be a better species.
- @uefachampions.bsky.social @cbsnews.com Really!! REALLY!!!! You interrupt the UEFA semifinals to announce the Catholic church did NOT elect a new Pope. Did NOT!!! Fire the producer that decided a Special Alert was required.
