How do they pick a pope?

And yet when I asked to be treated, and allowed to behave, like that, because my invisible sociopath in the sky tells be so, people seem to think there’s something wrong with me. What gives?

Coming soon to a television set near you.... "Vatican Idol".

Each week, one of the contenders gets voted off, until the last one standing takes the crown, I mean, hat. Or, whatever it is he wears.

Maybe they can be asked to perform a number of Pope related tasks, like trying to convert people, or covering up scandals in the church. perhaps Gudnerscored himself could judge, each week eliminating the weakest would be pontiff, condemning him to eternal torment, with the lovable catchphrase "you're dammed".
:D

Actually, I think it's formally referred to as a "tiara".

And I'm sure if there were big ratings to be had, some TV network would go for it! ;)

A papal tiara hasn't been used since Vatican II (although you still see one on the Vatican's flag). Nowadays popes just wear a bishop's mitre.

Sometimes it seems that the point of Vatican II was to suck the fun out of Catholicism.
 
Apparently, not very carefully.

The usual - campaigning, politics, concession swaps, favors extended and claimed, extortion, blackmail.

I doubt that there's much fraud, though - isn't that nice?
 
I thought it was that they all sat around a table and dueled with their force powers. Last election, Pope Ducu won. The Dark Side is strong with him.

To what are you referring, specifically?
 
Actually, becoming pope is entirely due to how many connections you have.

So Kevin Bacon is a shoo-in, if he ever decides to try for it.
 
It's funny...

They create a religous " icon " out of thin air and all of a sudden people believe anything this " icon " or the people around him say.
 
They put all of the cardinals into a no-holds barred steel cage deathmatch. The winner is appointed pope.
 
They have to prove who among them likes wearing dresses the most. The competition is...fierce? No, that's no it. The competition is...fluffy.
