    Most of the ceremony here has a point and that’s generally preventing the Holy Roman Emperor from fucking with the voting. It’s really, really hard to commit Papal electoral fraud because of all the dumb shit.

    Actually this is true for a lot of Catholic ritual with the caveat that the point is usually something like “dunking on Marcionites”

      These guys will be stoked when they learn about what Napoleon got up to.
