I have decided who I want to be the next Pope.

Vermin Supreme.

Fuck yes.

But would this mean only Catholics would get free ponies?

Do the ponies have to be baptized?

[Max White]

Well... You don't see that every day.
I wonder if I could get the job. I'm not catholic, and I'm not old, but you never know until you apply!


EDIT: Oh my god, for the first time in 600 years, somebody on earth will be able to say 'Things were better when I was pope!'

I think he thought "Well fuck im sick as shit and dementia is around the corner" so he decided to go away and let someone else to lead us, hopefully someone thats a little more thoughtful to the world.

The worst was not being able to say "Another (living) pope resigns" during all this time. Well, he still needs to live until the 28.

Good dental hygiene is the path to paving the road to heaven with healthy molars.

You don't look at the teeth of a gift pony.

As far as I understand it, they could pretty much nominate anyone they wanted too. much like the US speaker of the House, it can literally be a homeless dude addicted to crack. Of course, one hasn't been elected outside the council of cardinals in a long time.

They also used to pick one by shouting the name in unison, as if inspired by god.

Which always conveniently happens in total secrecy.

Like all good miracles. I sense a conspiracy...

[misko27]

Shocking. But considering they already have total control over the election, who are they trying to convince?
 
The other methods were adoration, which was alot like acclamation but before any official voting or vetting had taken place (showing ti was totally unanimous), and scrutinization. Unfortunately, only the last one remains legal and in use.

"Do we have a Pope John Smith anywhere?"

I always imagined Papal elections as being akin to the notable scene from Spartacus, except that the cardinals aren't all crucified afterwards.

That's an amazing mental image.
