RE: The Woke Pope Has Eyebrows and an Agenda,
Dear Poe,
The world is ending. Again.And there was smoke.
I waited. Chewing on dry biscuits for comfort. I am devastated. They’ve only gone and made an American the Pope. An American? Robert Prevost. Sorry, Pope Leo XIV (as if Roman numerals will fool anyone). Chicago-born, Latin America-lurking, woke-as-the-altar-boys Pope.
He literally started his papacy by saying “peace be with you.” Peace, Poe. Not brimstone. Not hellfire. Peace. I nearly choked on my rosary.
And get this: the man’s an Augustinian. You know, like… books, justice, probably owns a guitar and pretends to play it. He ran missions in Peru, advocates for Venezuelan migrants, and has a soft spot for "humanitarian causes." We don’t need more do-gooders. We need laws. And scripture. Scripture that I have read, and I alone understand the true meaning of God’s word.
He said he wants “unity.”
Poe. Unity.
We need schism, smiting, and the end of liturgical dancing. We need order. And, the worst part? Even his annointed eyebrows are dignified. Dare I say manicured. That’s how you know he’s dangerous.
Tell me, Poe. How do I confess my seething rage when even the confessional feels progressive now? What next oat milk instead of holy water?, Sandlewood for incense. To hell with it. Why doesn’t he just don a rainbow cape? Bake sugar cookies for the unholy masses?
Do I flee? Do I stage a crusade? The woke agenda is taking over the world and we shall all perish with it.
Yours in highly-caffeinated despair, Traditional and Trembling in Tallahassee.
Poe-plies:
Dear RE Traditional and Trembling in Tallahassee,
