Would you be pope if you were offered?

Before I decide, a quick question; Can you unpope someone? I want to know how much leeway I have. :)

But for how long?

It would be pretty embarrassing to end up discompopeulated within a week.

Which is why I need to know how easy that is to do before I take the job.

Make me the first Subgenius Pope of the Catholic Church and I'll promise something better than communion wafers every Sunday morning...

I don't think you can be unpoped. The pope being infailable and all.

(Although if you get to sick to do the job I think you can be removed).

Don't you realize that the college of cardinals has already convened and named me the next pope by acclamation?

I don't know about being pope, but I have been skinny dipping in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican. That's gotta count for something, right? Sadly, they drain the water at night, so it wasn't actually "dipping." But you get the jist. Oh, and I must apologize to any Catholics/Christians who are offended by this, but I couldn't let the opportunity pass me by. Plus, it makes for a great story.

What a great idea for a game show.

Or a Reality Television show.

Note: to be Pope tou have tobe a male Roman Catholic and have to be chosen by the Holy Spirit. (even though by some sort of mistery it keeps being a eince of the Church, ie. Cardinal)

I still preffer the anti-pope (or Black Pope) the General of the Society of Jesus, and be the CEO of one of the biggest Educational corporations of the world.

Unpoping someone usually works by... ahem... "disposing" of whoever is currently pope, and making it appear like it was natural or an accident. In the more ancient times of the Catholic church, I hear this has happened far too often.

Well, or you could found your own personal cult and become pope of that. But it's nothing like the real thing.

Seriously, though, how about Joe Pesci?
Would certainly add a bit of colour to Sunday's Angelus prayers.

Your doubts are unfounded.

No, I dont think you can be un-popified i you are picked as pope. I really dont know because I am a buddhist so I dont know the rules for being popified. :confused:

Dude, who doesn't wanna be Pope? You get the Popemobile, the Popehat, the Popecopter, the Popewanger, the Popeharem, all sorts of pretty peachy papal paraphenalia, not the mention you can run around naked in the Holy See, and nobody can do a goshdarned thing about it! Indeed, they will all bow and worship your one-eyed bishop.

If I could be called "Super-pope" I might do it...(But I'm a buddhist, so there might be a few problems with a lot of people...)

Hmm, you make a compelling case.

Alright I'll throw my hat in the ring.

The Pope is one of the most influential men in the world, and also a spiritual leader for a large chunk of earth's population. While The Holy Republic of Latopei does not ascribe to Roman Catholocism, we do recognize that Catholics are, by and large, productive respectable citizens. While they provide problems for countries working on population control, The Latopein General Assembly respects their beliefs as a culture and wishes them well in choosing a successor for their church.
The General Assembly will not allow any of its members to accept the position if nominated.
