About the same as the last two elections (evening of the second day). JPII took one more day.
Come on, Pope Domino!!
Pope Joan II elected?
I have it up in my classroom so my students can watch the Habemus Papam. The way popes go, we may be back here in a month or we’ll resurrect this zombie in 20 years.
But what if you are driving a Popemobile?
Factoid from the NYTimes:
Since 1900, this is the fifth pope to have been elected in two days.
interesting fun fact. the vote cannot be unanimous, a cardinal can not for himself.

Live pope has been selected
I’m guessing Parolin => Pope John XXIV
Even better advice.
If it was a dead pope, a zombie, it could be Mortuus !.
first the pope gets dressed, then all the cardinals greet the pope, they then chant “te deum”, go down the hall of blessing to the balcony.
that all takes a bit of time.
perhaps a trip to the loo is necessary.
In the long history of zombies…
(Few chain link fences in the Vatican. Hard to be scared of things that have human teeth which cannot bite through Popemobiles.)
ah for want of a comma.
New slogan for the RCC: “There’s Mortuus than meets the eye”
Please no more Benedicts, Johns or Francis; I hope for something original.
It’s kind of impressive how fluid the YouTube Vatican channel is. There must be millions of people watching it now.
Channel said only two Popes in the last thousand years (since 955) have not taken new names. Pope Rumplestiltskin was known for the high quality of his woven garments…
Earlier in the thread, I pointed out that Pope Simon might be a good papal name for Parolin. My dad hated when popes call themselves Pius. He said it was so presumptuous
They should first introduce the leading candidates who were not elected Pope.
“You are not the Father…”
Maybe sounds better in Latin.
The envelope please…
Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost is an American from Chicago, stationed in Peru and Paraguay, now is Leo XIV…
Here we go…..
