I wonder how they could find that hammer at the moment they needed it. I misplace things all the time. For example, that thing that crushes garlic.
I am very impressed that they found that special hammer every time a pope died.
This detail makes me suspect they didn’t use that hammer exclusively on deceased popes. This makes me suspect that there was more than one special hammer made of ebony and gilded silver at the Vatican. I suspect they had at least 5 special hammers in circulation in Rome.
We do have a weird religion.
Great post. It’s wild that there’s another Conclave coming!
