Pick the right path

Prompt: Generate a political cartoon in horizontal format. At the bottom center is a road receding into the horizon, but it forks into two ways. A road sign at the bottom of the panel near the road says “Conclave ahead.” On the left side of the panel is the road that leads to a monumental basilica with dark bricks. There is a foreboding atmosphere surrounding it. The sky is dark. At the basilica dome is the figure of a giant head of a severe cleric with glaring red eyes. He is made of the same materials as the dark basilica. There is a flag atop the dome that says “return to conservatism.” To the right is a road that leads to a series of green rolling hills with a tiny church. The church is pristine and welcoming. The door is open. Behind it is a beautiful, uplifting sky. The church steeple has the face of a kind, smiling face of an old cleric. At the open door is a giant welcome mat that says “everyone welcome.”
