Petrus Romanus ? If so, it is “ Time”.
RE: No, who announces if Mamberti was elected?
Well, If the Cardinal Protodeacon is elected as the new pope, he obviously wouldn’t be able to announce himself! In such a case, the responsibility of proclaiming Habemus Papam (”We have a pope”) would fall to the next most senior cardinal deacon in the College of Cardinals.
If it is the AntiPope, it won’t be as obvious as the name.
I’ve been watching Suburra:Blood on Rome Season 2.
Lot of Vatican intrigue.
Evidently the Pope doesn’t deal with the Mafia, that’s all left to the Cardinals.
One scene had a Cardinal and Sister who was head of some order arguing who would get the stipend for housing some 500 “migrants”.
For the record in the game of Vatican bridge, it appears a Cardinal holds more cards than an Order of Sisters.
New boss, same as the old boss.
Or issue an injunction forbidding the last Pope from dying without the court‘s permission.
Speaking of the Mafia and conspiracies, many still claim that
Albino Luciani ( Pope John Paul I ), was actually murdered by the Mafia. He was Pope for only 33 days.
He was threatening to expose dirty business going on within the Catholic Church and was planning to launch an investigation.
That was the theory.
Bad sign.
Picking a Pope so fast, with 80% being cardinals picked by Francis, can onlly mean they definitely got a more socialist Pope.
My favorite, too.
Pope Maurice I, but everybody can be the Pope

Pope Maurice I, but everybody can be the Pope
Cause he speaks of the Pompatus of Love.
The World Waits to find out who SHE (or THEY) will be...
Behind the Scenes: Lamberto is based on Albino Luciani, who became Pope John Paul I and died very shortly into his papacy and was believed by some to have been murdered. The film shows Lamberto dying in 1980, when in actuality Pope John Paul I passed away in 1978, a.k.a. the "Year of the Three Popes".
Please don’t tell us. Think about it some more and vote again.
Here’s another bad sign:
But somehow they had only fortune cookies for dessert.
You must be a woman. Do you know what one is?
“Larry the Second…” 😂😂🤣
No Pope Boyardee?
