   as an anti-pope, I'm always referring to "the vatican pope", but I'm always nearly mistyping it as "vancian pope"

   Like it's a pope that runs by D&D Magic rules? or maybe just I'm saying Jack Vance should be a Pope?

     we've had popes dug up, put on trail, and retroactively de-poped, has anyone been retroactively poped?

     @foone Nah, it's the Pope of the Diety Jack Vance.

     So, how many planets does an authoritarian religion need to be on before there are local Popes?

     @RandomDamage I think it's less about "how many planets" and more about "communication time".

     if it takes 8 years for a message to get back and forth from Alpha Centauri, then the Centauri settlers are gonna have their own pope. If the Centauri church is in a constant Zoom call back with the Vatican, you only need one pope.

     @RandomDamage I mean, Spain (and I think Canada?) have their own popes and they're on the same silly ball of dirt

     @DrakkenZero my personal favorite existing pope is Pope Peter III of the Palmarian Catholic Church, mainly because he makes youtube videos that look like gamer drama callout videos but they're about how the Vatican pope is heretical.

     Plus he claimed the former pope stole a BMW, which is just *chef's kiss* pope drama.

     @foone Fun thing that American Catholics hate when you remember - the Vatican Pope is only the Pope of the Bishops of Rome, but even in Christianity they're not the ONLY bishops and he's not the only pope.

     There's also the Bishops of Alexandria, who have their own Pope - currently Pope Tawadros II, who took the title in 2012 after the death of Pope Shenouda III

     @bhtooefr yeah but as a pope, speaking ex cathedra here, he can go stick his head in a pig

     @bhtooefr @DrakkenZero yes. when the former pope (Gregory XVIII) broke into the Cathedral-Basilica of Our Crowned Mother of Palmar, armed with a hammer and subsequently getting into a fight with several bishops (he lost, badly, and ended up in the hospital) he was absolutely popeing off

     @foone @DrakkenZero so you could say that it’s really popeing off?

     @log yeah I think they can stay in the ground. We're really just changing the records, their bones don't need to be bothered. This is about The Church, the divine and infinite one, not the old buildings one. We're just correcting the earthly records of who God Choose as their speaker on earth.

     @foone Do they have to be exhumed, or can we skip that part? If the Mormons can retroactively baptize someone, I don't see why not.

     @foone according to the Erisian church, EVERYBODY is a pope, whether they know it or not... 😉

     I first read that as "vanAcan pope," which I understood to describe a pope who reveals the truth one letter at a time. Preferably in a frilly frock.
