tbf, teenage me would be pretty puzzled by a sassy pope from Chicago that keeps getting involved in American politics. also by how much middle-aged me agrees with that pope.

    Sounds like the premise for a pretty okay two-season ABC sitcom c. 1987. (Edit: Maybe even a Perfect Strangers sequel where Larry accidentally ends up as Pope.) Where do I sign?

    Hm, best I can do is a Jesus and Buddha anime where they're roommates in Tokyo

    I was thinking more like a movie. A buddy flick circa 2010, like Harold and Kumar go to The Vatican or Dude, Where’s My Pope Mobile?

    I can see someone receiving penance in a confessional “And then…” “No and then!”
