Pope Francis has died. A papal conclave is summoned to elect his successor—any baptized Catholic male is canoncially eligible. After months of deadlock, the cardinals shock the world by electing you.

As pope, you would wield supreme executive authority over the Roman Catholic Church and can make infallible pronouncements on matters of Catholic dogma. Do you accept the position?

  • I’m eligible to be elected pope, and yes, I absolutely accept.
  • I’m eligible to be elected pope, but I graciously turn down the offer. Let them find some other papabile!
  • I’m not eligible to be elected pope, but hey, if they want me for the job anyway, I’ll take it.
  • I’m neither eligible to be elected pope nor interested in assuming the pontifical office.

My housekeeper keeps her phone in her bra. Really.

The college of cardinals thinks the better of their decision to elect you pope and they instead choose another candidate from among their own ranks. The new pope asks for your help in choosing a regnal name. His favourite number is two and he wants this as his regnal number, so you must choose among the names used only by exactly one previous pope. Which three names do you present to him as a shortlist?

  • Agatho
  • Anacletus
  • Anicetus
  • Anterus
  • Caius
  • Conon

An angel appears unto you and those around you, and proclaims that God Himself has declared you to be His choice for the next Pope. You are certain this is not a mental breakdown or complicated prank. You get no further instructions as to why God has chosen you nor what He wants you to do as Pope.

The Roman Catholic Church accepts that this is God’s will, and will accept you if you agree to take the job. It is not stated what happens if you refuse but, you know, it’s God we’re talking about here.

Do you accept the position?

  • I’m Catholic, and I take the job
  • I’m Catholic, and I don’t take the job
  • I’m Christian but not Catholic, and I take the job
  • I’m Christian but not Catholic, and I don’t take the job
  • I’m religious but not Christian, and I take the job
  • I’m religious but not Christian, and I don’t take the job
  • I’m atheist/agnostic/non-religious, and I take the job
  • I’m atheist/agnostic/non-religious, and I don’t take the job
