  That reminds me:

  What the fuck does a “Pope” do?

  They don’t even have a country to ceremonially rule over 🤣

    You realize The Vatican is a city-state right? Like a country.

    Now I really want to answer your rhetorical question, because you’ve badly misunderstood how popes work.

      Now sure how much they are really in charge.

      A pope can tell people to be “compassionate” and yet we still see all the xenophobia and racism. Seems like they have no influence whatsoever.
