“There were two signs that a pope had been elected—the bells of Saint Peter‘s would ring out in jubilation, and carpenters would demolish the masonry that blocked the windows of the loggia overlooking Saint Peter‘s Square. The tradition of sending smoke out of the Sistine Chapel chimney after each scrutiny—black for an unsuccessful vote, white for a successful one—was not instituted until 1903.”

Why knowing history can be helpful! He chose to be “Pope Innocent” instead of Eugenio. Good choice.

“Some were offended by his dismal and saturnine aspect, the reflection of a contumacious and restless soul, and in him one could see customs poorly suited to the placidity that the person carrying the name of the universal father should have.”

BookishMarginalia I for one feel my vocabulary becoming more capacious with just that one sentence 🤣🤣🤣 1d
Texreader @BookishMarginalia Oh you've made my day! Yes!

I'm thinking I also need to look up saturnine. 😂

Dilara I learned something today! I'd never seen this word before, but because the phrase for “trial in absentia“ in French is “jugement par contumace“, I assumed it had to do with absence. Well, it doesn't 😄 22h
Doll8455 At last my turn to tell what brought me to be a “hanged man”. All eyes and ears were on me as I approached the judge. I‘m sure the prosecutor saw me as a contumacious defendant. “I am counting on more words of the day to describe my sanguinary crime”. 15h
