New York launched Trump, Chicago launched Pope Leo. Draw your own conclusions! 🤷‍♀️

Who would win? The Pope, or Ditka?

You say that like it's a bad thing.

Chicago friend: Can you believe the Pope is from Chicago?
Me: I know, you guys finally have something to be proud of.
Chicago friend: Why are we friends?

You say that as if they hadn't been insufferable before this.

lydy.bsky.social•9 days ago

To be clear, I love Chicago. I've never lived there, but I used to visit it often, and it a wonderful, strange place. Insufferable, but wonderful.

We're in no position to talk up here. Can you imagine what would happen if there was a Pope from NYC?

rccarol.bsky.social•9 days ago

Indeed we are.

Don't worry. We'll soon go back to collectively ignoring the position except when he drops slurs or tells nuns to smile more

Can’t be worse than when the Cubs won the World Series.

Pope Leo throws out the first pitch at the opening game of the White Sox - Dodgers World Series, after the Sox's record-breaking 131 game winning streak.

The Pope blesses the Sox's bats and gloves, then turns to the Dodgers' pitching staff. "May thy arms chip and shatter," he intones in Latin.

as a poor catholic man and stl transplant, I'm actually living for this and can absolutely bet on the insufferable behavior coming from STL in a more intolerant sense. If Leo leans progressive, the top ones here will double down on preaching hate, like serpents. Many will follow suit.

50 bucks.

Can confirm. We are absolutely going to be insufferable about this for the rest of time.

Chicago Pope!

They still insist their casserole is good pizza, they can't help it.

Oh yeah!

i feel like John Mulaney's are going to be rolled back in his head for a while

bigdamnherossir.bsky.social•9 days ago

I've run this by several Chicagoans and they have all agreed

Yes.

mariedegournay.bsky.social•9 days ago

Luckily, Chicago insufferable is pretty entertaining.

gmacdonell.bsky.social•9 days ago

Ok, it's Da Pope against five lions that haven't eaten in a week.

Who wins?

bathysphered.bsky.social•9 days ago

It's what we do.

minerva1.bsky.social•9 days ago

I encourage you to lean in, I think Chicago can do more.

lamebanana.bsky.social•9 days ago

By the way congratulations on being showed on Internet today!
Well deserved!💙🍌

differentmatt.bsky.social•9 days ago

gonna be hilarious when his first encyclical declares, with a suspicious absence of context, that it's not a sin to say you're "from Chicago" if you grew up in Schaumburg
