So who do you want to be the next Pope?
I just wanted to use the title. Bet it's been done a thousand times before anyway

Are you thinking of campaigning Grix?
Well, I was saying something about black or white smoke a few posts ago, before the nonesense chimed in. Apologies to those who witnessed my lude comments, but some people really just need to lay off already. I'm always up for discussion on topics that I feel a passion for, this being one of them.
I disagreed with Mr. Thraves for posting this thread poking fun at the Papal seat for the sake of humour. I found it unbecoming of him to be fueling the fire of Pope ridicule around here. I thank him very much for the subsequent nolo contendere post he made with disclaimer. So I gave him a virtual hug...I love the guy, what can I say. Sue me.
Back to topic..
I always thought the selection process for the next Keeper of the Keys was an "heir to the throne" kind of thing. But, from what I understand, a whole buncha holy men gather and sequester themselves in the Vatican after the fifteenth day of the Pope's death and crunch candidates until one is selected by majority rule. Or something to that effect.
Then, they burn the holy selection papers (or some other holy docs) in some ancient oven and the smoke rises through the long stacks to inform the masses whether there is a new Pope (white smoke) or that they are still undecided (black smoke). Apparently, the Pope elect can decline the seat. So, nothing is really final until some coronation?
That's what I've gathered. Quite interesting. Of course, I'd post a more intellectual dissertation if this were in Life..

I did a Pope Idol topic on here many moons ago. Can't be bothered to go and find it, but I think it was possibly quite good...
Only possibly...
