Donald Trump told reporters he had "no preference" over who the conclave would elect as the new pope.

    He’s already destroying the US. Maybe he can destroy the Catholic Church, too.

    The US president said he had “no preference” but suggested an American cardinal, who comes from New York, would be good for the role.

    Having managed to greatly influence the Canadian leadership contest last month, the controversial President now weighs in on the Vatican’s process.

    The pope has absolute power and authority over the Catholic Church. If Trump were elected pope I guarantee the first thing he would do is empty the bank accounts of the church, sign over all the property they have all over the world to himself, collect all the art etc, perhaps make the Sistine chapel his personal residence, and ban everyone except security and family from entering the Vatican.

    It would be hilarious. The Catholic Church is one of the wealthiest entities in the world… and Trump would immediately put it all in his name permanently if he became pope.

    Everyone challenge him. Tell him he can’t do it. He is such a narcissist that it will consume him and he will leave the USA alone while he tries to become Pope.

    Would be a solution, if he would moved to the Vatican to become head of the paedophile cult.

    It would forever change the sarcastic question “Is the Pope Catholic?”

          Just a tiny little dot on the otherwise blemish free history of the Catholic Church.

        People have already forgotten that Benedict XVI was literally a member of the Hitler Youth and a soldier in the German military.

          Neither of which was his choice.

          His ultraconservative, authoritarian opinions after that are his own fault, though, as is his protection of pedophile priests.

    He’s clearly never read the Bible, but somebody told him how much Nazi gold there is for paying pedophile lawsuits so he’s on board.

    To be fair, it would be in line with the practiced values of the Catholic Church throughout history.

    They were pro-Nazi until the Nazis were gone. Then ohmygawdwemadeamistaaaake
