POPESPLOITATION!

I have declared today to be Popesploitation today. Share your unnatural love for the pontiff in any way that you can. To commemarate the occasion, lets begin with Pop Bitch's explaination of how to determine if the Pope is dead

Every pope has a chief of staff, called the Camerlengo. When a pope dies, the Camerlengo must certify that he is indeed dead. The ritual tradition is to strike him on the forehead with a silver hammer, call his baptismal namethree times and place a cloth over his mouth. If the pope does not respond, the Camerlengo declares him dead, authorizes a death certificate and then seals the papal living apartments.

Later, the silver hammer is used to scratch and break the papal ring and seal, so no documents can be forged in his name.
