WEBVTT 00:00:00.819 --> 00:00:04.139 Hey everybody, we got a new pope There's a new 00:00:04.139 --> 00:00:07.080 one after only a couple of days in their conclave 00:00:07.080 --> 00:00:09.439 the College of Cardinals have elected a new pope 00:00:09.439 --> 00:00:12.960 Now personally, I had been rooting for Cardinal 00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:16.760 pizza dance, right? Yeah, he was my he was my 00:00:16.760 --> 00:00:19.000 favorite, but the Cardinals went another way 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:24.179 and shocked Everybody they elected the first 00:00:24.179 --> 00:00:30.039 American pope Robert Prevost, I'm not sure how 00:00:30.039 --> 00:00:32.759 to say his last name, of Chicago, Illinois has 00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:36.039 been elected to the papacy and taken the name 00:00:36.039 --> 00:00:39.439 Leo XIV. He was made a cardinal a few years ago 00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:42.000 by Pope Francis, and he's thought to be continuing 00:00:42.000 --> 00:00:45.399 Pope Francis' kind of progressive push of the 00:00:45.399 --> 00:00:49.079 Catholic Church going forward. Jay, I know this 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:51.920 is all fairly new news to you, but what is your 00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:56.500 first reaction to a Catholic Pope from Chicago? 00:01:03.929 --> 00:01:12.010 Yeah, it's like Why do we care? Sorry, sorry. 00:01:12.129 --> 00:01:15.209 No, no, it's uh, if you've ever been to the the 00:01:15.209 --> 00:01:18.969 country, it's very very big very massive I got 00:01:18.969 --> 00:01:23.730 to go to the Vatican Was that two years ago two 00:01:23.730 --> 00:01:27.810 years ago now? Yes giant country someone say 00:01:27.810 --> 00:01:31.480 it's the world's smallest country, but No, they 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:35.319 have a lot of cool shit. It is the largest branch 00:01:35.319 --> 00:01:38.760 of Christianity. Yeah. And the pope does have 00:01:38.760 --> 00:01:40.840 a lot of effect on kind of politics and culture 00:01:40.840 --> 00:01:45.719 and how things are moving. I've seen a lot of 00:01:45.719 --> 00:01:47.900 mixed reaction. Conservatives are not happy about 00:01:47.900 --> 00:01:50.439 this. This was not the guy they were rooting 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:55.859 for. OK, well, here's my thing. One, get the 00:01:55.859 --> 00:01:58.340 fuck over it. You can't win everything. You can't 00:01:58.340 --> 00:02:01.480 win. the president of the United States and Congress 00:02:01.480 --> 00:02:04.819 and freaking everything and then want to also 00:02:04.819 --> 00:02:08.719 win religion. No. OK. Suck it up, you little 00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:16.680 snowflakes. Deal with it. Go cry and pray to 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:22.219 the new pope. I don't know. Just going doubles 00:02:22.219 --> 00:02:28.349 the bears, the pope. Yeah, this was definitely 00:02:28.349 --> 00:02:32.710 a dark horse, a dark horse move from the College 00:02:32.710 --> 00:02:35.490 of Cardinals. Nobody again. When I heard it this 00:02:35.490 --> 00:02:39.530 morning, I was like, what? You know, now I did 00:02:39.530 --> 00:02:42.710 see some good jokes online that he would be excommunicating 00:02:42.710 --> 00:02:45.389 people for putting ketchup on hot dogs, because 00:02:45.389 --> 00:02:48.289 apparently that's a that's a Chicago thing and 00:02:48.289 --> 00:02:50.930 that the body of Christ is now a deep dish pizza. 00:02:51.710 --> 00:02:58.180 Oh, my God. We're going to go to church now. 00:02:58.460 --> 00:03:02.699 Like, give me pizza. Give me pizza. The big argument 00:03:02.699 --> 00:03:04.500 that's been going on a lot. I see this a lot 00:03:04.500 --> 00:03:07.219 within Catholic spaces is is there's this very 00:03:07.219 --> 00:03:09.219 big schism right now between what you kind of 00:03:09.219 --> 00:03:11.639 call cradle Catholics, which are people who were 00:03:11.639 --> 00:03:15.800 born into the religion and converts, adult converts 00:03:15.800 --> 00:03:19.800 specifically, because a lot of those adult converts 00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.000 are kind of coming from evangelicalism. Like 00:03:22.000 --> 00:03:25.659 they want that crazy. conservativism, but they 00:03:25.659 --> 00:03:29.639 think that the structure of Catholicism is more 00:03:29.639 --> 00:03:32.159 their way. But the people who are born and raised 00:03:32.159 --> 00:03:33.719 in the Catholic Church are kind of walking around 00:03:33.719 --> 00:03:36.960 going, why are you guys being so serious? Relax. 00:03:39.219 --> 00:03:42.659 I mean, most most Catholics who I know who are 00:03:42.659 --> 00:03:46.479 who are born into the faith are let's call them 00:03:46.479 --> 00:03:49.960 the more. It's it's almost a cultural thing and 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.740 not really a religious thing for them, you know 00:03:52.740 --> 00:03:54.039 What do you what do you think with that? Do you 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:55.599 think that that's probably where a lot of those 00:03:55.599 --> 00:03:58.139 adult converts are is? Evangelicals who want 00:03:58.139 --> 00:04:01.520 the ritual out of it So I actually just looked 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.500 this up. I had to look this up. Sorry guys So 00:04:05.500 --> 00:04:10.620 I looked up so fun facts if you're born into 00:04:10.620 --> 00:04:15.300 the religion When you die and you go to heaven, 00:04:15.419 --> 00:04:18.279 you do get a fast pass for all the rides. Oh, 00:04:18.319 --> 00:04:20.620 really? Whereas if you're a convert, you don't 00:04:20.620 --> 00:04:22.160 get the fast pass. You don't get the best. You 00:04:22.160 --> 00:04:25.519 have to stand in line. So like, oh, it's you're 00:04:25.519 --> 00:04:27.920 still in the amusement park, but you don't get 00:04:27.920 --> 00:04:32.720 the fast pass. Right. You're standing. No, I 00:04:32.720 --> 00:04:35.579 think I think you're right. I think it's because 00:04:35.579 --> 00:04:41.839 like. There's a lot of. Rituals and it's very. 00:04:42.800 --> 00:04:47.939 I was never Catholic. Um, but it is kind of cool 00:04:47.939 --> 00:04:50.939 when you start thinking about like, Oh, this, 00:04:51.060 --> 00:04:53.360 this has been either a like standing gear for 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:57.240 thousands of years or be like, we're doing the 00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:01.180 same motions. We're doing the same. I don't know. 00:05:01.899 --> 00:05:04.879 I don't want to say say on so dear. Uh, we're, 00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:07.540 we're saying the same like prayer that has been 00:05:07.540 --> 00:05:09.879 said for thousands of years. There is like that 00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:14.750 really kind of cool old. ritualistic feel that 00:05:14.750 --> 00:05:16.990 comes with like the Catholic faith. Faith. So 00:05:16.990 --> 00:05:21.129 I think I think you are correct. Yeah. And again, 00:05:21.350 --> 00:05:23.930 cradle Catholics repeat like. So again, from 00:05:23.930 --> 00:05:26.230 my background, my father was raised Catholic. 00:05:26.230 --> 00:05:30.250 He was Catholic. My mother was like non denominational 00:05:30.250 --> 00:05:32.790 Protestant kind of style. So I got both sides 00:05:32.790 --> 00:05:37.750 of it. Right. So I got to go to mass and crazy 00:05:37.750 --> 00:05:42.240 evangelical churches. Hmm. People who are raised 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:46.439 in the Catholic faith, again, they view their 00:05:46.439 --> 00:05:49.019 faith, I think, very differently. Right. Like, 00:05:49.060 --> 00:05:51.019 again, because they're kind of born into it, 00:05:51.040 --> 00:05:53.560 they don't take it as seriously. It's just kind 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:54.759 of like one of those things where it's like, 00:05:54.779 --> 00:05:59.300 it's always there, you know. And so watching 00:05:59.300 --> 00:06:02.000 these arguments is really fascinating to me. 00:06:02.259 --> 00:06:06.399 Right. To see them be like, you know, and also 00:06:06.399 --> 00:06:09.540 the Catholic converts tend to be a lot more culturally 00:06:09.540 --> 00:06:13.790 conservative. right small c conservative than 00:06:13.790 --> 00:06:17.310 like people who are raised within the church 00:06:17.310 --> 00:06:19.370 which you would think it would be the opposite 00:06:19.370 --> 00:06:23.110 right like that people raised within the church 00:06:23.110 --> 00:06:26.350 would be more conservative when when really it's 00:06:26.350 --> 00:06:28.509 it's the converts who who become more socially 00:06:28.509 --> 00:06:31.449 conservative than the people who are raised within 00:06:31.449 --> 00:06:34.970 the confines of the catholic church it's very 00:06:34.970 --> 00:06:43.610 strange to me yeah um Is kind of Is weird. Yeah, 00:06:43.610 --> 00:06:48.750 I mean, I also saw some reaction like USA USA 00:06:48.750 --> 00:06:55.930 Like Again there is a lot of people who believe 00:06:55.930 --> 00:06:58.930 that this because of if you actually by the way 00:06:58.930 --> 00:07:01.050 There was a bunch of people passing around the 00:07:01.050 --> 00:07:04.529 new Pope's Twitter feed Right because he was 00:07:04.529 --> 00:07:09.889 on Twitter Right his last few tweets were extremely 00:07:09.889 --> 00:07:13.370 critical of the Trump administration and Extremely 00:07:13.370 --> 00:07:15.350 critical of the American government and how they're 00:07:15.350 --> 00:07:19.670 treating immigrants and things like that so There 00:07:19.670 --> 00:07:21.689 is a belief that within the College of Card, 00:07:21.829 --> 00:07:24.110 obviously No one will ever know what was said 00:07:24.110 --> 00:07:26.410 by the College of Cardinals inside the conclave. 00:07:26.410 --> 00:07:30.339 It's still very very secret You know But there 00:07:30.339 --> 00:07:33.100 is a feeling that much like with the Canadian 00:07:33.100 --> 00:07:34.680 elections, the Australian elections being kind 00:07:34.680 --> 00:07:38.040 of a repudiation of American conservatism kind 00:07:38.040 --> 00:07:40.779 of rising again, that the College of Cardinals 00:07:40.779 --> 00:07:43.540 may have looked at this and said, what if we 00:07:43.540 --> 00:07:47.420 put in a progressive American pope, right? And 00:07:47.420 --> 00:07:49.220 that this is how they're meeting this moment 00:07:49.220 --> 00:07:57.660 in history, which I find to be fascinating. It 00:07:57.660 --> 00:08:02.319 is my only question here is how do you think 00:08:02.319 --> 00:08:12.259 our Jedi Trump is going to react if What was 00:08:12.259 --> 00:08:16.339 his name Pope Leo now Leo the 14th Leo the 14th 00:08:16.339 --> 00:08:19.459 starts bashing on America. How do you think Trump 00:08:19.459 --> 00:08:23.189 is gonna respond? him and vice president vance's 00:08:23.189 --> 00:08:25.389 uh initial responses were generally positive 00:08:25.389 --> 00:08:26.810 they're very nice apparently they're already 00:08:26.810 --> 00:08:29.129 trying to set up a time for the president to 00:08:29.129 --> 00:08:34.210 go see the new pope uh but i think yes i think 00:08:34.210 --> 00:08:37.049 if he's vociferously like criticizing how they're 00:08:37.049 --> 00:08:38.789 dealing with the immigrant situation everything 00:08:38.789 --> 00:08:41.350 else in the united states i think they will turn 00:08:41.350 --> 00:08:43.809 on him very fast now i think that the vp is much 00:08:43.809 --> 00:08:48.809 less likely to turn on the pope outwardly well 00:08:48.809 --> 00:08:51.519 he killed the last one right yeah He did, you 00:08:51.519 --> 00:08:54.120 know, he went and saw Pope Francis and the professors 00:08:54.120 --> 00:09:00.000 like, you know, so anyway, folks, let us know 00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:02.120 what you think down in the comments below. Are 00:09:02.120 --> 00:09:04.919 you excited for Merica Pope? Right. What do we 00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:07.340 think this new post going to be like? Were you 00:09:07.340 --> 00:09:09.679 were you following this? Were you fascinated 00:09:09.679 --> 00:09:12.720 by the smoke coming from the chimney? These are 00:09:12.720 --> 00:09:14.379 one of those lovely historical events that only 00:09:14.379 --> 00:09:16.360 happens a few times in your lifetime, so I find 00:09:16.360 --> 00:09:19.639 it very fascinating. Let us know what you think 00:09:19.639 --> 00:09:21.500 down in the comments below.
