Installation

I was wondering, what are the procedures for Pope Installation? It seems like such an interesting term to describe the inauguration of the Pope, it makes me think there have to be some very technical steps involved. Perhaps...

We already know that the Pope initially gets renamed with a new version number before installation.
Does the church need to be "shutdown" before the new Pope can be installed?
Do you need to change the Pope's chauffeurs? You know, switch out the drivers?
What do you do with all of the previous Pope's papers? Are they archived?
Is the procedure so specialized that only certain Cardinals are qualified to perform it?



Other News

This may have made its way through the grapevine, but in case my two readers haven't heard, Maggie is pregnant. With twins. We're really, very, truly excited. Further details by request.

    Congratulations! That is awesome news. I'm really happy to hear it.

    Twins! I suggest the names "Kleobus" and "Biton".
