So I’ve been officially baptized and confirmed. The eucharist wafer is a bit bitter, because unlike protestant churches here, we don’t use grape juice…
So how all hail to the pope
I hope you can make some friends there.

Two Jewish friends pass a Catholic Church on which a large poster addresses non-Catholics: “Come to us, accept Catholicism, and you instantly get $30,000 in cash!” While walking away, the two friends become engaged in a debate about whether the offer is meant seriously.
A week later the two friends meet again in front of the same church, and one of them confides to the other: “I still wonder if that offer is serious.” the other replies condescendingly: “Ah you Jews, all you think about is money!”

It’s one of my least favourite organized religions, along with Islam. But, I hope it works out for you.
What’s with the “Crocodylus pontifex” joke?
When I started reading this, I actually thought it was a serious story about a church in Taiwan. I was wondering where to sign up… 
I noticed that, but I was more curious about the thing on the wall. That’s a bit of an odd statue/casting, isn’t it? Or is that normal in churches here?
(I should note that I probably haven’t stepped foot in a church for maybe 15–20 years, and even then it was as a tourist or wedding guest. I may not be up to date with all the latest trends.)
It’s almost as if @Taiwan_Luthiers has sent the Church off topic…
While we’re at it, is that cross installed the right way? I thought they were usually vertical… 
It’s blasphemy against the pope.
I don’t know what @Taiwan_Luthiers is doing here.
That’s kind of how it seemed to me, yeah… an odd choice for a post about one’s baptism. But as a non-believer I’m fine with blasphemy anyway, so I figured it’s not my business. 
its a movie character, the space pope
It’s a joke, that crocodile pope is from Futurama
Yeah I know. It just seemed kind of non-serious for something people doing this stuff usually take seriously, that’s all. Not that I’m offended by it personally.
I mean Carlos is about to be canonized…
Get the holy cannon ready.
Up to you, but might be worth refraining from these kinds of jokes in church tbh, assuming you don’t want to offend the other churchgoers. 
I thought it was a statue of the devil
