Conservative Catholics: Married men becoming priests? Gays can take communion now? What's next? A dog becoming Pope?
Liberal Catholics: Exactly.

You're trying to think of all the angles, if the Pope was a dog. Trying to anticipate the problems of having a dog Pope. Sun Tzu said that the best way to win a battle is before you ever reach the battlefield and you're committed to this concept of a dog Pope. Start by making sure the Cardinals are dog people and not cat people. Get the current Pope to say that dogs have souls. Bring Your Dog to Mass Sundays around the world. Start the process to get Lassie canonized and raise the profile of Saint Bernard. Classify the Iditarod as a pilgrimage. You've got a lot of good ideas, but here's what you need to understand: You can't possibly anticipate what would happen if the Pope was a dog and you shouldn't even try. Because it would be loving crazy if the Pope was a dog.

[Context for this scene: It takes place in a universe much like our own, but where the Pope is a dog]

Man in a hospital: I get my liquids intravenously now, because of all the spit takes I was doing every time I remembered that the Pope is a dog.

The pope would be unable to give edicts, or issue reassurance in times of world trouble, as he would be a dog. The pope would have no stance on gay rights.

Android Blues posted:

The pope who was a dog (if he was) would be under-informed theologically and likely would have no strong background in scholarship. The dog pope wouldn't know thing loving one about the Nicene Creed. If you left the pope at home for too long, he would urinate somewhere. Baptising the dog would also be a gently caress and a half.

the newest pope has chosen the name of Saint Bernard, the patron saint of being a Saint Bernard.

in a controversial move, the cross-shaped hand gesture has officially been replaced with face licking by Saint Bernard.

instead of riding in the car that is driven for the pope containing the pope, the dog if he was a pope would run after it, and chase it, compromising his security in huge ways, leaving him vulnerable to assassination. pretty original insight from me, Android Blues

see, instead of being in the car and being safe, he would be behind the car. and if he was in the car - get this - he'd probably stick his head out of the window

in case you're wondering how to "get in" to this thread when so many good jokes have been told about what if the pope was a dog, take this humble suggestion from me: very few posters have yet decided what breed of dog the pope would be, and there are many breed-specific jokes to make, like if the pope was a pitbull vs. if the pope was a chihuaha

you might also consider specific famous dogs like Lassie, Old Yeller, or Spuds MacKenzie. or McGruff, who is a detective but there's no law that says that a detective can't be a Pope. Or Scooby Doo. There are many famous dogs that could be Pope, if the Pope was a dog, and I beg you not to think too hard about plausibility. We are all suspending disbelief here so as to engage in gentle japery

Pope: I wish I could be like you, Scruffy. Living a life with no worries and no cares, not having to forgive anyone's sins, humping everything that moves.
Scruffy: It's hard being the Pope's dog. He's always traveling and there are a lot of stairs in the Vatican that are hard on my hips. I wish God would show the Pope what it's like to be me.
God: DONE.

VILLAGER #1: Lassie is the Pope now.
VILLAGER #2: That's what I heard. She's the Pope.
VILLAGER #1: I thought Lassie was a boy.
VILLAGER #2: So did the College of Cardinals, apparently, but I looked it up on Wikipedia.
VILLAGER #1: Fail.

[CUT TO: Vatican. A flustered Swiss Guard enters]

SWISS GUARD: Your excellency, Jesus is trapped down a well!
POPE LASSIE: Bark bark bark!
SWISS GUARD: Yes, your excellency, I'll lead you right to him.

[CUT TO: Exterior, WELL. POPE LASSIE and SWISS GUARD are standing next to the well]

SWISS GUARD: Here's the Well. Jesus is inside.
JESUS [muffled]: Help me, Father!
POPE LASSIE: Bark bark?
SWISS GUARD: This well, right here.
POPE LASSIE: Bark?
SWISS GUARD [leans over]: Right in here, in the well.

POPE LASSIE pushes the SWISS GUARD into the well. Cue Wilhelm Scream.

POPE LASSIE: Sorry Jesus, but you're more use to me down a well.
JESUS: My God, my god, why have you forsaken me?
POPE LASSIE: Welcome to Popetown, bitch. This is what it would be like if the Pope was a dog.

Premise: Scooby Doo is the Pope.
Extension of Premise: A Holy Ghost has been spotted in the Holy See, and the Sacred Mystery Gang has to investigate.
Plot points: Msgr. Shaggy gives up sandwiches for Lent, becomes cranky. Fr. Fred is a pedophile (canon), Sr Daphne falls in love with an Austrian widower, Sr Wilma loses her faith during a climatic chase scene and bumbles around committing heresies.
Catchphrase: "I would've gotten away with it, if the Pope hadn't been a dog!"

Robert Langdon moved in closer to hear what the dying Dog Pope had to say. He was whispering something, but what? Was it a clue, some revelation into the latest mystery he was chasing? As he leaned in he could hear His Eminence speak- "One. Hundred and... TWO!" he breathed, as his last breath exited his body. What could it mean?
