OK, after checking Cardinal Bishop Tagle's wikipedia page, I am dying laughing. "Tagle, who generally prefers to be called by his nickname "Chito" rather than by his clerical title..."

I swear to flying-spaghetti-monster... having the next one be Pope Cheeto would be PEAK 2025.

The Catholic Church continues to sustain and promote global patriarchy. Shame!
