New Pope election.

One hundred fifteen cardinals enter. One Pope emerges!

You know, the message boards should really have a ‘thumbs up’ option for approval of a post that doesn’t really merit a comment. :smiley:

According to the Vatican, the answer is no. The new Pope will be Pope Francis the un-numbered, with no number until a Franics II comes along.

This really sucks if they are carving a csv list of popes into the marble of St. Peter’s Basilica. I mean, what you leave a space in front of the comma for later? Messy! :mad:
