I am absolutely LOVING some of the online reactions to the new pope. JD Vance is getting roasted, MAGAts are freaking out, and we're getting deliciously nerdy quips like the two below:

Mawlana Hazar Imam is asked if he's like the Queen or the Pope: Interviewer: Would you say your position as leader of the Ismailis is similar to that of the Queen in this country or perhaps nearer to say the Pope? Aga Khan: "Well it’s hard to compare the position to either of them. The Imam is the descendant of the Prophet, and as such has the religious guidance of his community. At the same time he has to see that in their material life they are happy and that they progress as fast as the countries they are living in progress themselves."

Popemania In NYC

Popemania aka standing in a line that stretched 32 blocks for over four hours, and the only real way to see Pope Francis was through other people's phones.

Jane, Pope Francis super fan.

Just before Pope Francis came rolling through Central Park, people spot a rainbow overhead.

Crowd photographing the rainbow.

I agree, it’s a sign: God Loves Gays

I swear I saw Pope Francis, but I didn't get a good shot of him. I'm ok with that, especially since 99.9% of the people around me were living through a camera -- it felt right to see with my own eyes for those few minutes.
