Posthumous style
by CarolineFor some reason I’ve spent a good portion of time reading about popes, because really, papacy is a fascinating concept. For instance, this graphic of popes over time is awesome, and it also gives some insight into the difference in life expectancy over the years.
Almost all of the first 50 popes are saints, but only one of the most recent 25. (Seven others are engaged in the saint process.) I wonder why some are and some aren’t?

“engaged in the saint process,” sounds like some horribly dry business negotiation where someone inevitably stands up and yells what about *our* fucking fiduciary responsibilities? and someone else runs away crying.
I have now learned that there’s something called an antipope.
