If I asked you to guess how Generation Z are keeping up to date with the papacy selection process, you’d be forgiven for guessing that they just… aren’t. It’s a 700-year-old process, belonging to a 2,000-year-old church that almost exclusively involves old, religious men.
It takes place shrouded in the privacy of the Sistine Chapel (where no phones are allowed) in Vatican City. It typically involves several rounds of paper voting across multiple days and is, for all intents and purposes, deeply boring.
