  • This House, as the Pope, Would publicly denounce God

    Infoslide

    You are the newly elected pope Leo XIV. For the entirety of your life, you have been a devoted Catholic who believes that God does everything with a greater goal in mind. A few days after your inauguration, God manifests before you during your private prayer and announces that there is no grand plan behind human suffering. He simply releases some form of disaster (Black Death, COVID, tsunami) once in a while for his entertainment.
