I seem to recall that when younger, I heard something about a document that is read when a new pope is elected...
The new pope usually reads the document and then seals it with his ring and it's not read by anyone else. Only the Pope reads this document. I recall (vaguely - as I was a kid when I heard this) that some popes actually went white when reading this document.
Has anyone else heard of this document or read about it?
I always thought it was the last vision of Fatima.
I've also heard a rumor, and I repeat this is just a rumor, that where they hang portraits of the Popes, there's only room for two more portraits on the wall.
