Years after my R.E. teacher said, “I will never fall lower than into God’s hands,” I finally came up with the retort, “Let’s go on the roof and check.”

      Eh, it’s out there. By its nature, it’s not something that tends to make itself well known.

      Pope Celestine V was just a guy living in a cave. The Papal elections were dragging out, and he sent a letter to the council saying divine vengeance would come down if they didn’t make a decision soon. So they elected him.

      He sucked at the job, because pope’s need to know politics and administration just as much as religious matters. Living in a cave doesn’t prepare you for that. He’s one of the few pope’s who resigned.
