black smoke comes out of St. Peter’s church chimney—clueless Vatican City fire department rushes over to drench voting cardinals and put out the “fire” (humor)
GRA: Every one, by now, knows that when the voting Cardinals do not agree on a new Pope, black smoke is sent up the St. Peter’s chimney to signify this failure. No one, however, told the Vatican City fire department and fire chief, Luigi Corleone, who saw the smoke and sent his fleet of fire engines over at full speed to put out the smoke with millions of gallons of water.
“Nobody a-told me,” said Luigi, who helped the drenched Catholic Cardinals out of the building and into the bright, warm sun to dry off.
None of the potential Popes were reported drowned in the mix-up.

NEW POPE:AMERICAN,ROBERT FRANCIS PREVOST--FROM CHICAGO--69 YEARS YEARS OLD;WILL BE LEO XIV
GRA:A shocker,the first Pope chosen from the United States. Supposedly similar to Francis in wokeness. He helped Francis choose bishops in Church dioceses the last few years and "was a close confidant of his."

NEW POPE APPEARS TO BE LESS WOKE THAN PREVIOUS ONE,HOWEVER...
(ZH)Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost (now Leo XIV), has previously expressed disappointment that some Western media held "sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the gospel," in particular, the "homosexual lifestyle" and "alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children," according to the NY Times.
Cardinal Prevost, appointed by Francis in 2023 to run the Vatican office that selects and manages bishops globally, has spent much of his life outside the United States. Ordained in 1982 at age 27, he received a doctorate in canon law at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome. In Peru, he was a missionary, parish priest, teacher and bishop. As the Augustinians’ leader, he visited orders around the world, and speaks Spanish and Italian.
The cardinal understands that the center of the Roman Catholic Church “is not in the United States or the North Atlantic,” said Raúl E. Zegarra, assistant professor of Catholic theological studies at Harvard Divinity School.
Prevost also opposed a government plan in Peru to add gender studies instruction in classrooms, telling local media "The promotion of gender ideology is confusing, because it seeks to create genders that don’t exist."
Other quotes,attributed to Prevost,include describing President Trump's anti-immigration stance as "problematic."
