Earlier, we told you the Papal Conclave will begin on May 7 in Rome. As billions of Catholics wait to see who the new head of their church will be, others are going to have some fun with the process.
Enter the Pope Draft.
Watch and enjoy:

Well done.
Great stuff! Pairs nicely with this oldie-but-goodie: https://t.co/c3ovnOY4pf (btw, we've reached such absurdities in our current Pop Culture that apparently they're making dramatic versions of this obvious skit):

LMAO.
How has this writer never seen this before?!
Funny!!! I'm rooting for @CardinalDolan
— MarthaZoller (@MarthaZoller) April 28, 2025
Dolan was this writer's Bishop for many years.
She doubts the next pope -- or any pope -- will be from the United States.
Vatican, you are on the clock.

Heh.
"He speaks Latin!"

"It's the Vatican, EVERYONE speaks Latin!!!"
🤣🤣🤣
Hahahahahahaha.
I’m not sure that my religion allows me to laugh at this …

Well, this writer is Catholic and she's laughing her butt off.

Get your wings and pizza ready to go.
The rookie cardinal jersey goes hard.
— Andre Peterson (@Gotthardlane) April 28, 2025
Yeah it does.
There is no reason why @DeaceOnline should not be made to watch this. Both for the lolz and because we are too comfortable https://t.co/O3lkTnNNXJ
— Morrie-moto (@jewshido) April 28, 2025
But mostly for the LOLZ.
This is hilarious. https://t.co/qyKPTlm7Iu

Very hilarious.
All tomfoolery aside the wall-to-wall TV coverage of the conclave to elect next Pope really needs the ESPN “The pick is in” jingle every time the Cardinals send the monsignor to the Sistine Chapel stove with their ballots to fire up white or black smoke. https://t.co/MeAyUxxPTz https://t.co/eGFmwBvYy5

Someone, please make this happen.
I don't care who you are ... this is funny. And I think Pope Francis would have been laughing the loudest. https://t.co/1tOmUq4zzu

We need more levity. Some of the hardest laughs this writer has ever had were at funerals or when a loved one died. Grief is a weird emotion.
I desperately want a Pope jersey for the Pope draft https://t.co/vPViDYLiL4

This needs to be a thing.
Lol, the Pope draft! I still can't believe this will be the 3rd Conclave within a 20-year period. https://t.co/V2HmZucBqj

It's wild to think the last time we had a Conclave, this writer's youngest wasn't even born yet. This'll be his first Conclave, and the second for her older boys.
And we'll keep you updated on everything as this process unfolds.
