First female 'Pope' for Church of England

Anglican leader: the Archbishop of Canterbury

A historic shift: Sarah Mullally becomes first female head of the Church of England

Don't spoil this for us, Sinead!

Right Honorable Dame Sarah Mullally has‌ broken barriers, ascending to the position of [the 106th] archbishop of Canterbury. This momentous ⁢appointment, announced on October 3rd, marks a pivotal turning point for the Church of England ⁣and​ the wider Anglican Communion.

Don't think of me as a woman!

She is the 106th individual to hold this esteemed⁣ role and, significantly, she is the first ‍woman to lead the⁣ church established nearly 500 years ago.

The Church of England’s origins trace back to 1534, when King Charles VIII sought to circumvent the ⁤[Roman Catholic] Pope’s refusal to annul‌ his marriage to Catherine of Aragon [who due to him would not bear him a male heir].

• We say "Pope," but the official Church says she's the "ceremonial head" or primus inter pares, "first among equals.

This act fundamentally reshaped the religious landscape ⁣of England ⁤and now, centuries​ later, ‌it’s experiencing another profound transformation.

Rome still rules the world with its pope.

[Pope] Mullally, 63, was a leading⁤ contender to succeed Justin Welby, who stepped down in November 2024. Her reputation as⁤ a highly capable administrator undoubtedly played a key role in her ⁣selection.

The Selection Process: An Intentional Path

What Brits need is more pomp 'n circumstance.

The Crown Nominations Commission, responsible for filling the Church of England’s most senior positions, chose Mullally. This commission⁤ comprises prominent bishops‍ and archbishops, and⁣ its process differs significantly‌ from the papal​ conclaves⁣ of the [Roman] Catholic Church. Here’s ‍a breakdown of how the selection unfolds:

• Extensive⁣ Consultation: The Commission engages in months of thorough discussions and evaluations.
• Rigorous review: Candidates are assessed on ⁤their theological understanding, leadership skills, and administrative experience.
• Governmental Approval: Ultimately, the⁣ chosen nominee ‌requires validation from both the [UK] Prime Minister [Keir Starmer] and the King of England [Charles III], reflecting ⁣the Church of England’s‌ status as the state religion.

I’ve found that this deliberate, multi-layered process underscores the gravity of the Archbishop of Canterbury's

position and the importance of selecting a ⁣leader equipped to navigate the challenges and opportunities facing the church today. More

Holy smoke, new pope! Roman Catholicism's new emperor is American from Chicago: Leo

I could Make Rome Great Again. I'm willing to buy the office like they used in the good old days

• (CBS News) Who is American Robert Francis Prevost, now the newly crowned Pope Leo XIV?

I approve of this Peruvian Petro to be the new Rock, the new Roman

Holy Roman Catholicism's St. Peter's Square

Pope Leo the 14th (Robert Francis Prevost), 69, from Chicago, USA (a graduate of Villanova University), a trusted confidante of outgoing (deceased) Pope Francis. This is The New Pope.

Chi Town's nice, nicer than the Rock

Pope Leo XIV is an Augustinian cardinal who spent a great deal of time in the Americas, particularly in Peru, as a dual-citizen.

It's an unbelievable development in world history as the temporal leader (tough guy Trump) and the spiritual leader are from the same country, a rich nation that now rules the rest of the world outright instead of just militarily, financially, and hegemonically (in terms of disproportionate influence).

• Cardinal Robert Prevost becomes first American pope (NPR)

Pope Benedict Arnold: Why, God, why not me?

What is it about Chicago to produce the CIA-groomed dictator of Israel (Bibi Netanyahu), CIA-groomed Barry Soetoro Obama, Trump's favorite historical figure (Al "Scarface" Capone), AND now this holy man, the world's first American pope? To be sure, there are other popes (head patriarchs of various Christian churches) in the world. The only explanation given so far? "He's the least American American," which is a nice epigram. If the US is a War Machine, Pope Leo is a man of peace.

MAGA is mad at Marxist pope

(TYT) MAGA is big mad over the Catholic Church's choice for pope

That was fast. It's as if he were pre-selected.

However, this is the continuation of the Holy Roman Empire that rules the world through devotion of more than a billion adherents (1.4 billion total and 1 in 5 Americans) and untold riches stored away in public and secret investment bank accounts all over the world and booty stored in the Vatican (City) in the Holy See.

The grandeur of the Holy Roman Empire headquarters, the palace at Saint Peter's Square

.

Rob Prevost: a modest parish priest

The "Holy See" is its own independent country/city-state in the middle of Rome, where Mithras was for so long worshipped until being swapped out for Jewish Jesus Christ and, more importantly, his mother, Goddess Virgin Mary (Jewish Miriam).

Peter the Roman?

You forced me out too soon!

If this is "Peter the Roman," that must mean the USA is the new ROME, the new world-dominating imperial power. Prevost is Italian (ROMAN) and French, on his father's side, with a mother who's French, African, and Spanish, a dual citizen born in the U.S. but also possessing Peruvian citizenship. Peru is as happy as the U.S. about his selection.

(New York Post) At this year's Al Smith charity dinner, presidential hopeful VP Kamala got a little help from SNL's "Mary Catherine Gallagher." Ahead of a pre-recorded speech (because she couldn't bother to be there in person, or send liberals Jewish Doug Emhoff and Midwestern Tim Walz, like everyone else except for candidate Walt Mondale), the veep tried to perform a comedy bit alongside Molly Shannon's '90s-era Catholic school girl character from Saturday Night Live. Yikes, at least Trump proved he was not illiterate as he read haltingly and in a stilted manner of a declining senior citizen, the oldest would be prez ever, not from teleprompter screens but old-fashioned cue cards). #kamalaharris #alsmithdinner #mollyshannon

Pope Benedict dies. Long live the other guy

TODAY, Dec. 31, 2022; Slayer "Season in the Abyss"; Eds., Wisdom Quarterly COMMENTARY

What if I look like his Dark Majesty, the source of light in the Holy Roman Empire/the Holy See?

The Nazi Pope Benedict

Beloved Pope Saint Francis is safe. If he weren't, we might cry for that guy. But Hitler Youth member, possible Satanist, and almost certainly chronic pedophile priest Pope Emeritus Benedict Arnold (born Joe Ratzinger) has died at 95 to answer a few questions at Saint Peter's gate. Will the Catholic world mourn? Not likely, not much anyway. He was very unpopular. Pope Francis may commit the same crimes, having been a loyal student of Benedict, but he's loveable in a Dalai Lama sort of way.

Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI dead at 95

(TODAY) Dec 31, 2022. The Vatican [Corporation] has announced the death of Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI at the age of 95 after failing health. Ex-Pope Benedict was the first pope to resign in 600 years.

I work for Krampus, and I'm Klaus.

[But it is known he was pushed out for high crimes and misdemeanor, not only involving rampant homosexuality and perversity in the priesthood over which he presided but embezzlement and/or other high finance irregularities of the Vatican and its banking partners. He had become an unpopular liability and got to choose between hiding out in the Holy See immune from prosecution or death to save the multinational corporation embarrassment and dues paying members].

I don't worship the Devil...that much. Who says?

Will Pope Benedict spend seasons in the abyss for his crimes, sins, and peccadillos? Do Catholic insiders even believe in a literal hell apart from separation from the God they worship? Outsiders like us, yeah, we're forced to believe in hellfire and brimstone, but the insiders, the scholars like Benedict, they almost certainly laugh at the idea that there's a real hell. There certainly must be some forms of it -- subterranean chambers where ogres and "demons" dwell torturing humans in experiments. It's not so much punishment as a result of bad karma making one susceptible to torture and experimentation by wardens down there that have their own agendas. Sure there are "spiritual hells," black dimensions, but are there not worlds of horror, like battlefields and ruined cities the US military-industrial complex traffics in around the world?

The world is fed up with Catholic hypocrisy, financial crimes, and rampant homosexual child molestation by trusted members of the clergy. But what power do the people have in a patriarchy?

The Lost World of Tibet is an archival, BBC documentary. Om mani padme hum [translation: "Hail the jewel in the lotus"]. FREE TIBET NOW! Long live the pope-king, His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama in the holy land [of his feudal kingdom ruled by a "Vatican" of wealthy and powerful bishop-monks, rimpoches, in a Potala Palace in the capital of what was once a Himalayan empire extending from Mongolia to Bangladesh] surrounded by snow-capped mountains. O, Great Lama [of the Yellow Hat sect], you are the source of all benefit and happiness!

Int'l Women's Day: "Macho of the Year" Award

PARIS (AFP) – A French feminist group awarded its "Macho of the Year" award Friday to the archbishop of Paris for his remark that women needed not just a skirt but "something between your ears as well."

Les Chiennes de garde (literally "The Guard Bitches"), one of France's most outspoken women's groups, made the award two days ahead of International Women's Day.

It gave second prize to comedian Fabrice Eboue for his comment on French television that "feminism is not just for authoritarian or sexually frustrated women, it's also for lesbians."

Cardinal Andre Vingt-Trois made his prize winning remark about the difficulties of recruiting women to jobs in the Roman Catholic Church... More>>
