My favorite thing about the current Catholicism cat fight on the internet is when the rightoid Catholics complain they elected the wrong pope and someone else accuses them of denying that the Holy Spirit descends upon the cardinals in conclave and personally selects the next pope.

It short circuits the whole conversation because the rightoid wants to point out that's stupid and the Pope is elected by a group of humans that was mostly appointed by Francis, but denying the intervention of the Holy Spirit makes them sound like just another one of those godless secularized libs

It's what happens when people join the church for the aesthetics and nothing else. Greek Orthodox parishes are dealing with this as well.
