C.<p>A modest proposal about popes...</p><p>So, another pope has died and his ashes will soon be emitted from the chimney on the Sistine Chapel. It is time to select a new pope.</p><p>But the pope has presided over a seemingly endless series of scandals for generations. They keep electing new popes, but the problems never go away. Why can't they solve these problems?</p><p>Looking for commonalities among all the popes of the last century or so, one stood out to me: they're all Catholic!</p><p>Maybe they should try choosing a nice Unitarian, or perhaps a Wiccan? They'd have at least as good a chance of solving the problems as the last umpteen Catholic popes. Maybe even better.</p><p>It's worth a shot.</p><p>(V jbaqre ubj znal ercyl thlf jvyy rnearfgyl rkcynva gb zr jul gur cbcr zhfg or Pngubyvp.)</p><p><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/pope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pope</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/selection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>selection</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/conclave" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>conclave</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/Swift" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Swift</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/JonathanSwift" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JonathanSwift</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/AModestProposal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AModestProposal</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/catholic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>catholic</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/wiccan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wiccan</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/unitarian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>unitarian</span></a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/cardinal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cardinal</span></a></p>
