Mom just suggested that I march right up to the Vatican, introduce myself to the guy in charge, hand him a printed copy of my resume and tell him confidently and forcefully that I’m the right person for the job.

This is the first post of yours that I've ever seen so I can't tell you with confidence, you are just what the Catholic faith needs right now. I'm 100% on board
My brother’s a priest. My mom just suggested the same thing to him. If he’s successful, I’ll have to admit he’s infallible, which would be a nightmare!
🤣🤣🤣 Only if you're as good as he was concerning the issues he protected.. Abortion, conservation of of nature and ocean, women's rights, and the LGBT stuff..
Do you have your salary requirements written down yet? Remember, set them high enough that you can come down to the number you want, but not so high that you scare them off.
And why the hell not?! Just a rudimentary perusal of your profile and posts shows you're more qualified than any of the cardinals hoping to get the job. Remember, they're pretty formal. I wouldn't go business casual for the interview.
Yep. But the real power brokers probably aren't in the Vatican. You have to find the mostly likely cardinal to have influence, fly to Djakarta or wherever & convince them to lobby for you in the conclave.
Mom has got it close. I suggest closing with, “Brr…It’s a bit chilly in here. Let me light a fire.” and then use the correct pope-announcing log in the fireplace to let the world know of your new career.
If they opened it up to women and you are a baptized layperson, you could get the job. Any Catholic layman can be made pope. Its not an anointed office like priest or bishop. They made a 20 year old kid pope once. No seminary, theological study or anything else required.
Coming from a lapsed conservative Presbyterian background, my recommendation going into these sorts of opportunities is: always overturn folx's currency-exchange tables, like our Lord.
The Cardinals, smugly, "Really now? Let's see what God thinks!"
>put your resumé in the fire
>smoke rising is white
Cardinals, stunned, "...well okay then. God says you're the new Pope."

So, all I’m saying is burning incense is a thing & who is to say what gets put in that little globe before walking up and down the aisles.
What I’m getting at here is I don’t think it would be hard to hotbox a church.
White smoke = new pope
Hella smoke = pope is fucking cool
House 🤷♀️

Not qualified.
