HARNWELL: in the run-up to the Conclave, the Financial Times tips its hat towards MAGA’s influence

VIDEO SYNTHESIS / FINANCIAL TIMES: {“The most celebrated Maga Catholics are Steve Bannon, Trump’s former chief strategist, and vice-president JD Vance”}

The FT gets it exactly right. But also a warning. It notes that of the 10 US cardinals eligible to vote for the next pope, six were picked by “Pope” Francis — so there’s every chance #NotMyPope VI will simply be succeeded by #NotMyPope VII.
