  3. This is interesting… any male who isn’t married can become pope.
    So if that male isn’t a cardinal how do they ask if he wants to be pope?
    Do they call his cell phone and ask, or do they escort the person to the Vatican and ask? Can you imagine a guy at his job getting a call… the cardinals elected you as pope… what do you think?
    Am I the only one who wonders these questions? Also a sign I’m Catholic!
    That would be pretty awesome for the guy working next to you one day to be ordained and become a pope the next!
