      I would interpret that there was an even number of “nots” in whatever line in the Bible says “not” to be gay. We got it wrong because of a translation error.

      Thou shalt not not not not not not not not not not love thy neighbor of the same gender

    • Just be a gnostic, really. All the chuds that wear crosses will be excommunicated as demon worshippers

    • Consider pride to be the ultimate sin, which is the root of all evil. Discrimination? That’s the sin of pride as you see yourself as superior to anyone. Idiots like coal rollers? That is also the sin of pride for literally putting your comforts, and therefore your ego above pollution

    • Sustainability will be my upmost concern. Yes, while the goal is to transcend this material world, it is our duty to not make the material world any more painful than it already is

    • Cuba will be declared as the state that has served God the best.

    • I’ll give a shout-out to transcendentalist movements and also quakers for having the Catholic Church’s respect.

    the catholic uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry

      but also:

      • have the archives digitised/remotely accessible, get a gun, and go church to church shooting pedos worldwide
      • call for the immediate, eternal dissoloution of the “state” of Italy
      • official church position that the great satan is actually the literal embodyment of satan, kicking off the holy crusade against amerikkka and all of its satellite/vassal states (additional bonus of retaking and liberating jerusalem and greater palestine)
      • canonise Fidel Castro (while going straight to Marx, Lenin or Stalin might be funnier eventually, inflicting otherwordly levels of psychic damage on gusanos has the best immediate payoff)
      • the papal treasury shall fund the alliance of sahel states indefinitely

    • Declare Gnosticism is no longer heresy
    • Absolve my entire family for the sole purpose of excommunicating the members I don’t like
    • Dig up a bunch of other popes and put them on trial for failure to condemn genocide, nullify their papacy
    • Make a weird new calendar system, ensuring my name is remembered forever

    Hawaii Shirt Friday.

    edit: Actually no, you know what? I’m bringing 1950s Tiki Culture back. Catholicism should be more tropical and fun.

    1. use some extraordinarily flimsy theological justification to claim that in addition to the holy trinity, the ancient gods of Rome are also aspects of God and resume worship of the pagan gods of the Roman republic and early empire

    2. call for a crusade against Israel to liberate the Palestinian people in the name of Christ Jupiter

    3. canonize every vaguely important communist who ever lived

    4. issue a papal bull declaring that cis people will not see the light of the kingdom of heaven (this is already true but it needs to be written down)

    5. tell the swiss guard that they’re doing great and i love them and their pikes and jaunty outfits

    6. hold a triumph. i don’t know for who or why but i want a goddamn triumph

    7. change my title to Callipygous Optimus Maximus, Imperatrix EstraDoll I
