Non-RC views of election of Pope and smoke

[bbbbbbb]

I see another thread has arisen from its smoke and ashes. ehehe

 

[Virgil the Roman]

I quite like the Coptic method of selecting - which is by lot - just as the Apostles did.

peace,

Anglian

I like this way as well. Just the same, however, I hold myself to the Ancient Church of Rome's manner of episcopal selection and papal selection.

When was the custom/tradition of sending smoke up a chimney first introduced in Roman Catholicism [it is afterall your Denomination's custom correct?]

As a former "RC" and altarboy, you ought to know as well. Please do educate us. After all, you must know a sundry amount of aspects regarding the Ancient Church of Rome, for I am sure, that you educated yourself quite well about all her various details, aspects, traditions, and particulars before you removed yourself from the Ancient Roman Church.

Interesting choice of words

2 Corin 5:17 So that if any in Christ, a New Creation, the ancient-things/arcaia <744> pass-away,
behold! has-become New the all-things
[Reve 21:4]

Reve 21:4 And He shall be out-rubbing every tear from/*out of the eyes of them and the death not shall be still, neither mourning neither clamor neither misery, not it shall be still,
*that the former-things/prwta <4413> *pass-away.
[2 Corin 5:17]

Indeed, a very curious choice of words. Is there a Modern Roman Church in contrast to the Ancient Roman Church?

Ya'll should put that on the Vatican Flag

 

[Virgil the Roman]

No.

The Vestal Virgins also tended a fire, therefore signaling the election of a pope with smoke is obviously pagan.

(by Frederick Leighton)

The House of the Vestals, as it remains extant in the Forum is really impressive. They have some great surviving statuary.

How do non-RCs, including the EO/OO feel about the way the RCC elects their Popes using the Cardinals?
And where and when did this tradition start? Thanks


Black smoke rises from the chimney of the Sistine Chapel meaning that cardinals failed to elect a new pope in the first ballot of their secret conclave at the Vatican City.[AFP]

i have mixed feelings about it.

 

[Fireinfolding]

i have mixed feelings about it.

Must be a tough decision, though back in the apostles days it just seems like God was right there saying "set apart for me such and such". Not such luck here in this kind of situation it appears. Maybe someone answered this, I gotta go back and read.

I can only imagine them saying, "well God hath not chosen any of us for this" light the smokestack and lets flip a coin for it

Not so bad of an idea casting lots is in scripture too right?

 

[Rick Otto]

Well. ...I meant that it's hard to find a positive feeling about what I feel is wrong in the first place. The levitical model of priesthood perpetuating itself isn't normaly a thing to celebrate in my X-Catholic. Post-Protestant opinion.
(I'm self-labeling here)
I'm AM glad they're not using heretics to create the smoke,

Amazingly novel use of English.

And I'm not just talking about new ways of using punctuation!

You're so perfect

It's not truth because you believe it. If something it's true it's true regardless of whether you believe it or not

Thanks, but get out more often & it won't seem so.
