'Evil is being defeated by God': Marjorie Taylor Greene celebrates after Pope's death

This made me laugh incredibly hard, so had to cross post it.
Should we tell her there'll be another Pope, or is it funnier to let her keep believing?
She was likely against the somewhat liberal views of Pope Francis, like how Christians should be kind to gay people and refugees.
Heretic!
Even the pope is just a church organ. I meant, his "policy" if you will was more than just his own. It's doubtful that Vance's visit (I will run with the idea*) will bring forth a more conservative pope.
"Rep. Nancy Mace (...) bizarrely insisted that a visit by U.S. Vice President JD Vance did not lead to the pope's death."
Francis said that judgement should be suspended on gay individuals and theorized a gay cabal in the same sentence. That's different than being kind to them.
I'm very afraid that the next pope will be somebody American catholic bishops would approve of. a trans hating, immigrant-hating asshole who will excuse everything Nazi America does like that one nazi pope did historically
80% of the conclave was appointed by the Pope. I doubt it's gonnabe a radical chnge in the Vatican.
Do you seriously think the Vatican is influenced by MAGA? Or by European far-right elements for that matter?
It's no coincidence, no outlier, that the last one was slightly more tolerant on certain issues. (Apparently enough to piss off more than one US christofascist.) I fear MTG will not see God's plan in whatever follows, either.
Francis appointed most of the college of cardinals, and I find it unlikely he'd appoint someone so ready to buddy with fascism, so we will likely still have a liberal pope.
Hopefully one that pisses hateful bigots like her off even more.

Francis appointed most of the college of cardinals so more than likely we will get another woke pope. Hopefully this one is even woker.
But the next pope may be far more conservative than Francis, who by Catholic Church standards was unusually liberal.
I've been reading up on the front-runners for Pope and some of them are super old school illiberal. Though the fellow from Ghana does apparently concede that the laws on homosexuality in some African countries are a bit harsh.
