Still, it does appear that people that Vice President Vance meets with have the life expectancy of Sean Bean in his movie roles.
Pope Francis died less than 24 hours after meeting him.
FWIW, I'm pretty sure that the next Pope will not be as good as Francis, he is arguably the best Pope since John XXIII, but I am certain that he will be a better Catholic than J.D. Vance.
Hell, I'm a better Catholic than J.D. Vance, and I'm Jewish.
I will not be doing a play by play of the smoke coming from the Sistine Chapel.

1. Saying Francis was the best pope since John XXIII, is a low bar, and may be unfair to John Paul I, whose actions as Pope are to be admired and emulated.
2. Do you recall the story about Great-Uncle Herman (the lawyer) who did work for the NYC diocese (cheating widows or some such), and so, when on a European tour was gifted with attending a Papal audience in the early 60s?
When Herman returned, he got very ill, and great aunt Dora (Bernstein, we have a few aunt Doras) -- famed for saying "I'm and atheist, may God forgive me," and more than a little superstitious, said:
"See, see, he saw the pope and I new something bad would happen. He met the pope and Herman got sick."
To which Saroff said, "Yes, but the pope met Herman, and he died."
I love that story, even with the typo.
