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!
Very informative and would hold the attention of students
Thanks a lot. This will surely hold everyone…young and old..in awe!!Thanks a lot.

and will likely happen when pigs fly! 😉
True, but it still would be pretty awesome.
I never thought the Pope would resign either! I like to think outside the box:-)
P.S… when pigs fly…
