Dead pope will not be hammered |
A bit of trivia
http://www.upi.com/view.cfm?StoryID=20031001-043419-2720r
<excerpt>
As soon as the pope dies, the Chamberlain of the Holy Roman Church --
a senior Vatican cardinal -- takes over. Usually referred to by the
Italian title of 'Camerlengo' (chamberlain), he is the official who
must ascertain that the pope is dead.
As recently as 40 years ago, the Camerlengo did this by tapping the
pope's head three times with a small hammer and shouting his family
name close to his ear, but that colorful ritual is not mentioned in
the 1996 revisions made by Pope John Paul II to streamline the
process, and referred to by the opening Latin words of the document as
"Universi Domini Gregis..." -- The shepherd of the Lord's whole
flock...

Now they use a big rubber mallet like Bugs Bunny that goes *BOINNGGGG* and
then he shouts "Hellow layyydeeeee!!!" up his nostril.

I think that the idea could be dangerous since a 'senior Vatican
cardinal' could well be in line to be the next Pope.

Yeah, "Message for you sir" is my email notification.
The first time I saw it there was a guy about five (empty) seats over who
was going word for word with the bishop in the holy hand gernade scene. Some
people really liked the movie.

Thank you for that. It wasn't too long ago that no one really knew when death set in.
Remember, Popes have been dying for 2000 years now.

Probably from repeated blows to the head. Guess they hadn't heard of
"doctors," among other things.
