    This is the first American Pope in history. Prior to Leo, the concept of the Pope voting in an American election would be preposterous. But he's from Illinois, so he gets to vote.

    The world has been so ridiculous lately, it's been harder for The Onion. They have to get more extreme to match the current news. People forget that they used to do more simple, silly headlines, like this.
