Lad we know who is VERY Christian as described the succession process as “a bit like the Grand National in that anyone can win” :lol:

The bit where they have to put down the fallers should make for interesting viewing.

Does whoever is picked have the option to say “thanks but no thanks”? 
 

Has that ever happened? 
 

So many Pope questions, so little time. 
 

 

I reckon if they introduced one new rule-

“ anyone can ask to be pope, but if you aren’t chosen you die”, it would speed things up and let them burn their little bonfire way sooner than now.

I'm sure I read somewhere yesterday that the recently deceased Pope neither put himself forward for it, or wanted it.

Answering my own question. 
 

In 1292, after a conclave lasting two years without choosing a pope, a Benedictine hermit called Pietro de Morrone sent a letter saying if a pope was not chosen quickly, divine retribution would fall on them.
The leader of the Conclave immediately declared Pietro as the Pope, and the conclave ratified the choice with no exceptions. 
 

Upon being told of his new job, Pietro ran away and hid, refusing to take up his new role. :lol:
 

Eventually he was persuaded to accept and became Clementine V , and his first and only papal decree, immediately upon taking up the role, was to introduce the right of resignation for popes. 
As soon as the decree was passed, he resigned :lol:

And recommend Eddie Howe.

Imagine how much he’d improve the church? He’d have your average championship level priests pressing at a Joelinton level. Thoughts and prayers to the throats and arseholes of their choir boys.

Virginia Giuffre has killed herself. Sad story, three kids lose their mam. No doubt Prince Andrew still thinks he's the real victim in all of this.
