How To Become A Pope
Do you know how a Cardinal becomes a Pope? Most people do not know what happens behind the walls of the Vatican during the election of a Pope.
Now you can know how Cardinals become Pope.
Stephen Haliczer, a retired historian from Northern Illinois University who specializes in Catholic history, has developed a board game, Vatican: The Papal Election Board Game that teaches what happens during the election of a Pope.
The Vatican Board Game follows six cardinals through their early careers as they build their reputations. The games also deals with the death of a Pope and the conclave to elect his successor. The game seems to be a theological version of Monopoly.

Dr. Mariottini ~ I need your help. Had hoped you'd have an e-mail address because I don't really want to "post" my reason for asking the question. I'd like to know the definition of Magisterium, what/whom it consists of, and how it is they are appointed, elected or whatever. If you can/will help me by e-mail I would appreciate it, and will tell you my reason. Thank you. Bethtzur@gmail.com
