The current Pope in 1982. He's even from Chicago: obviously a Blues Brother.

As someone elsenet remarked, "He looks like he spent the 80s hunting undead gangsters and complaining about the wind."

A sharp-faced youth with dark sideburns wearing black ray-bans indoors, in a black hat and coat, dog-collar just visible underneath: 42 years later he was elected Pope.

@cstross He's from Chicago *and* he's on a mission from God.

@whangdoodler Clerical collars are colloquially called dog collars here in the UK.

@derrydavis Yes, but did he have a wisecracking haunted skull in his basement and a VW Bug that was the only car he could drive without it flaking out?

Sure, Pope Leo is infallible now, but back then those shades were too large for his face.
The lid, on the other hand, is snappy AF!
Final fashion score: 8/10

@cstross I'd be a lot cooler with him if he hadn't presided over a complete and total ban on all gender-affirming care across every Catholic hospital in North America.

Insisting we can only ever take tiny incremental steps back from the cliff is how we ended up here in the first place.
