She’s also popular with some Black feminists/Womanists as well. My circle of friends will often forward her sketches around and I saw Trainwreck with a couple of my BF/Womanist friends (we liked it well enough, it was OK, not great).

Exactly! Everyone comes away thinking OMG THE POPE ASKED ME TO PRAY FOR HIM, I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE POPE. JUST ME.

Or Cool Pope met with her just so he could say, “Remember, Jesus said ‘Don’t be a dick.’”

Yeah, like.... as an Apostolic Christian her faith definitely believes the Pope is going to hell. I highly doubt she’d want to meet with him, and vice versa.
