#he'd get some kind of disastrous mental breakdown or his health would completely give in under the stress and pressure

it occurred to me this morning that machete is a cardinal, so in some universe he could feasibly become pope. i can't imagine anyone more stressed out than Machete As Pope

.

#it'd be extremely unlikely but not impossible! as a cardinal he's definitely eligible #he's nowhere near popular prestigious connected and wealthy enough to compete against his more influential and power-hungry peers #I don't think he'd want that either #despite his high status he's a very private and reserved person and being a Pope is all about the pomp and circumstance #and I don't think he'd survive for long #he'd get some kind of disastrous mental breakdown or his health would completely give in under the stress and pressure #he's good at being a ruler's competent right hand man or second-in-command #but as a sole leader it's more likely he'd quickly lose his sense of direction and collapse like a house of cards #answered #doomcountry
