This year has involved a lot of looking at the date and wondering how it can be right.

Early exit polls suggest the new pope did particularly well with male voters aged 45-79.

Despite my own advice I did find the context. It's..... not as bad as I'd feared, given the bar is basically "threats of trade and or outright war". But even more frustrating.
Sigh.

It's some mix of surprising, disheartening, and insulting how low the bar really is.

Oooh, looks like at least five minor league players named Pope who were affiliated with St Louis, recently Bryan Pope who played for the Springfield Cardinals in 2023.

So at least one Pope was a Cardinal!
