If I ever knit, tat, or crochet something for you, just know that not only are you getting the item I made, you are also getting a piece of me. I mean that in the grandiose metaphorical sense and, unfortunately, also very literally. I apologize for the hair.

Pew pew

some papal facts:

Being a cardinal is not a requirement for the Papacy, as most recently proved by Pope Urban VI in 1378.

Being ordained is not a requirement either, as proved by Pope Leo X in 1513.

Being present for the conclave is also not a requirement, as proved by Pope Adrian VI in 1522.

the papal conclusion:

[caflec-answering-blog]

As I recall, there was one time where during Conclave, a monk came to the Vatican, yelled at all the cardinals to get their shit together and stop being so incompetent and elect a Pope already. And they were so impressed by him that they decided HE should be Pope. And not only that, but he ended up hating being the Pope so much that he only ever made 2 official declarations:

1. That Popes don't have to serve for life, they are allowed to quit.

2. That he quits.

You're presumably thinking of Celestine V, whose election is mythologised to various degrees like this. Honestly, the actual historical version is funnier.

Celestine V was born Pietro Angelerio. He was the second-youngest of his seven surviving brothers (five died in infancy). His mother, probably foreseeing that her family was Not sustainable on small plots of Italian sheep herding land, taught him to read and he became a monk at the age of 17. By his mid-20s, he had left the abbey and was living alone in a cave.

Stories of the magic monk who lived in a cave spread through the area, so he did what any self-respecting cave monk would do and left for an even more remote cave. People kept following him, so he made his own monastic order in his cave.

Now it's 1294 and Pietro is in his 80s. They've moved the order from his remote mountain cave to a slightly less remote monastery, while Pietro lives in a nearby cliff. There hasn't been a pope for two years and Pietro is presumably tired of people coming to his cliff and asking him to do cave wizard things that they could otherwise ask a pope to do, so he sends an angry letter to the cardinals saying that God will Smite Thine Ass if they don't elect a pope.

The de facto head of the cardinals said "Alright then, you can do it.", knowing damn well that a man whose claim to fame was living in a cave adn eating 10000 spiders a day would not be a very politically astute Pope. Pietro also knew this, and apparently tried to leg it before he was "persuaded" by a group of cardinals backed by a military detachment including the King of Naples (a political ally of the guy who nominated him in the first place) and his son (who was on the way to unsuccessfully try to crown himself King of Hungary).

Said King of Naples kept Pope Celestine in his own court, not Rome, and essentially used him as a puppet. That said, every year they still throw a party in the town of L'Aquila after he announced what was probably the first papal jubilee there, so he wasn't totally rubbish as medieval popes go. Realising that he was essentially a rubber stamp for the Capetians, he announced his right to resign after five months.

He then moved back to his cave.

[rlyehtaxidermist]

I've been reminded that he wanted to move back to his cave, but his successor (the same cardinal who persuaded him to resign) was worried about the King of Naples propping him up as an antipope, so he had him arrested.

He escaped into the woods and tried to return to his cave, so they arrested him again. He tried to flee by boat to return to his cave, so they arrested him again.

Damn they could've just been like "your prison cell will be that cave" and saved themselves some trouble
