By 2025, the Gendarmerie corps guarding Vatica

In the Roman Catholic Church, it was called the “Francis effect,” a feeling that the arrival of the more inclusive Pope Francis in 2013 would invigorate the faith and get people back in the pews. On Monday, Francis’ passing at the age of 88 led to an effect of a different kind: a surge in viewership for Conclave, director Edward Berger’s Oscar-winning film about what happens in the Vatican when church leaders are locked in a room—or, well, the Sistine Chapel—to decide who will be the next pope.

As I read the latest updates, I had an intrusive thought: is there already a prediction market on his health? I’m sorry to report that yes there is. The phenomenon of a “New Pope in 2025?” market isn’t new; until 1918, gambling on papal deaths and elections was punishable by excommunication. The 500-year-old story behind it is an illustra
