The Pope's visit- how does it fit in?


Clearly it does. At first I thought Angela might be Regan, all grown up, and that was why her family is being targeted by the demons. But now I think it's because she's involved with the Pope's upcoming visit to Chicago. Clearly this Legion is planning something nasty for the Pope's visit, and that brutal slaughter at the end of episode 2 seemed to support that theory, with the camera showing the sign of the pope.

Good stuff!

I mentioned that earlier. Angela even offering to house The Pope and and his clerics.

Why are they calling the Pope, Pope Sebastian or whatever? The current Pope is Pope Francis. They even describe Pope Francis but with another name. What's that about? Is this supposed to be an alternative universe or something?

IMO Pazuzu wants to kill the Pope, and with him, all hope for more compassionate church.

I'm not so sure,they made reference that the pope is a leftist and more friendly to gays and things,then the poster just showing his back and stating he is coming it makes me wonder if this pope isn't an antichrist,just have to wait and see.

The demon wants to kill the priests and the Pope.

Or maybe possess the Pope and put pedophile priests in key churches.
