Por que não fazer um Conclave? 

Salve Maria! Viva Cristo Rei!

3:56 Wait, _were_ there saints who said a Pope could be designated by Sts Peter and Paul? Like the first Palmarian pope claimed?

_"where you do run into __1:13__ a problem in terms of church law and __1:15__ conclaves and and exotic stuff like that __1:18__ is that it is is very clear in church __1:20__ law that you cannot fill an office uh __1:24__ unless it is clear that you have the __1:26__ right to fill that office and unless __1:28__ there's a declaration from someone and __1:30__ Authority that the office is __1:33__ vacant we can't do that right we can't __1:37__ start the legal mechanism uh up to uh __1:41__ start a conclave"_ _"who would have who would __1:43__ have that Authority?"_ Correct answer: in a case of dire emergency, that's not the question. There was a certain man who in Cöpenick (a suburb, now part of, Berlin), his name was Friedrich Wilhelm Voigt, he pretended to have authority to do the security measures, and who abused the usurped authority to rob the city council's money deposit. The lesson of the occasion is, if you are too obsessed with "who has the authority" that leads to abuse. Don't get me wrong. When it comes to Apostolic succession of the episcopal consecreation, it's not about authority, but about powers. You don't get the powers to ordain priests or even hear confession because you assume authority in a case of emergency. The only authority we are here concerned with is jurisdiction. And the Catholic solution is, in a vacuum of jurisdiction (that is, of jurisdiction not usurped by enemy powers), at the end of the day anyone can assume the jurisdictional adress to end a deadly deadlock. So, Charles III, last Carolingian to rule in France, was also ruling in East Francia (territories that were becoming Holy Roman Empire), but there he was deposed by his nephew Arnulf of Carinthia, leading to his deposition in France as well, and two brothers, Odo and Robert _simply stepped in_ and the latter became the ancestor of the Capet dynasty. Or this other occasion, the Second Republic was in the hands of Azaña, a man who considered it a priority to fight the remaining powers and privileges of the Church, but didn't really find it all that necessary to suppress Red Terror ... three army officers, Sanjurjo, Mola and Franco decided to step up "to save the Republic" (which remained Franco's programme from 1939 to when he restored monarchy in 1947). Between them, Sweden actually had Dictators in the Middle Ages, not kings, but temporarily assuming royal powers and prerogatives, in times when Danish Kings who were also Kings of Sweden where unduly priosing Danes to power positions in Sweden. Engelbrect and two men named "Sten" (it means stone, and they presumably had St Peter as patron), of the house of Sture.
