CatholicCid Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Well, I don't know what all questioning is about. I think Canon Law makes it pretty clear what happens if a non-Cardinal is elected out of the blue. Can. 725 § 6. If the College shall choose to elect a non-member then a secret soiecty of the world's top ninjas shall be dispatched to apprehend and blindfold the candidate to bring him to Rome. Upon arrival in Rome the canadidate's blindfold shall be removed, and he shall be told his apprehension was for the entertainment value of viewers of a new television show on the FOX network in the United States of America, and that the network would like to award him a million dollars (USD) for his trouble if he signs a document waiving his right to file a lawsuit. This document shall really be an agreement to accept the Office of the Chair of St. Peter. Upon the canadidate's signature he shall then be forced ably downed in the holy vestments of the of the holy father and shoved behind the curtain to a cheering crowd of laypersons chanting his new pontifical name as determined in the agreement mentioned above. Seems pretty straight forward to me. Nice try, but Canon 725 is a type of printer. Edited March 12, 2013 by CatholicCid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

r2Dtoo Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 What the secret society really doesn't want you know is that the two leading canadidates for Pope are really Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elizabeth09 Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 My guess is they would send a secret entourage and burn fake ballots in the meantime to make everything look normal. So this week, if I see a white helicopter coming down.....or some Swiss Guards with a bunch of white balloons... Seriously though, if I was in charge, I would send a secret entourage to escort the named person back for the unveiling. That would make the most sense I think. Otherwise, Joe Smoe II would be overrun by rioters and probably killed if it was made public before they could get adequate security. They have to stall some time some how. Not white, because then it will like look that you had become pope. They have to put on army clothes on, to think its army verse coming to get a pope. Maybe they will send someone like in everyday clothes, knock on your door, have some tea/coffee and cookies/pie, fill in the time somehow, and somewhere, ask you if you like to become the next pope.
