New letter to the pope

His Holyness Pope Francis,

Good Poping! The way you cut down on spending and want to spread the church to everyone has given me renewed respect for the Catholic Church. I know you don't live in the Apostelic Palace, but I hope a mail forwarding service fit within your budget.
I am a Discordian, not a Catholic, but our religions have many things in common. For example, people often have a hard time figuring out whether Discordianism is a Joke or a Religion, and the rock on which the Catholic church was built was a pun. We both have saints, although Discordianism doesn't discriminate against live people, fictional people or non-people. And we have Popes, but in Discordianism every man, woman and child on earth is a Pope.
Which brings me to the next point: you are one of only a handful of people that can honestly claim to be a Pope in two religions. Discordians often have trouble convincing authority figures of their Popedom. So we have Pope cards to prove that we are Popes, and they are too! As you are not only a Pope too, but also two Popes, I have enclosed two of these Pope cards. You probably don't need them though, so feel free to give them away.
Good luck with your Popehood! I will be drinking a cup of mate for you later, I hope you will return the favor.
Sincerely,
El Sjaako
