00:00Pope Francis dying just a day after meeting with J.D. Vance.
00:05John Oliver is opening up about the death of Pope Francis and connecting it to J.D. Vance.
00:11Francis died Monday at age 88 after a stroke put him into a coma and led to heart failure.
00:17He also had suffered from chronic lung disease and recently had been hospitalized for 38 days
00:22due to respiratory issues that led to double pneumonia.
00:25On his HBO series, Oliver noted that Francis died just a day after meeting with Vice President J.D. Vance.
00:32Which, honestly, relatable.
00:35Oliver then addressed the mounting speculation about who Francis' successor will be.
00:40Potential candidates include Cardinal Pietro Parolin, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, and Cardinal Pier Battista Pizzaballa.
00:47His name in Italian literally means pizza dance.
00:50I don't know, that sounds almost offensively Italian, but do keep in mind every last name in Italy means pizza dance.
00:57He went on to say,
00:58Now, would electing a Pope pizza dance instantly repair the reputation of the Catholic Church?
01:02Obviously, the answer is we won't know until we try.
01:05So, J.D. Vance, you say the f*** away from Cardinal Pizza Dance.
01:09You don't meet him, you don't go near him, you don't even think about him.
01:12Francis was Pope for 12 years.
01:14He made his last public appearance the day before he died, Easter Sunday, when he blessed thousands of people in St. Peter's Square in Vatican City.
01:22He met with Vance just before that appearance.
