    I wonder if it is like character creation in an RPG, 5 minutes to elect a new pope and then the rest of the time is time they need to think of a name.

      I always try to imagine the process of deciding, and it’s hard to take it seriously.

      “Carnidal Donatello has done some great work for the church, and the nuns really like him.”

      “Yes, sure, I agree with you there. However, I think that Mortimer has been much closer to God. I saw him the other day – Mortimer, that is, not God – and I swear he was radiating with light.”

      “Mortimer truly does radiate with light, but that may have been due to his proximity to the CNPP back in '86, and might explain his extra appendages… You’ve certainly been quiet through these deliberations, Marco. What are your thoughts on the matter?”

      “Me? Oh. Well… I kind of like Bill.”
