Well it was a Polish Pope, now a German Pope and before that an Italian Pope. Maybe a Pope-o-vision contest for the next Pope.
A Poem:
The Pope is a dope on a rope
With a grope
And a scout on a pole.
Goal!

A Papal Conclave works like this:
+ A pope dies and is buried
+ The cardinals come to Rome for the conclave that will elect the new pope. The word conclave (Latin, *** + clavis, literally, "locked with the key") designates:
. • The place in a locked section of the Vatican where the cardinals elect a new pope.
. • The actual gathering of the cardinals.
+ The conclave begins 15 to 20 days after the pope's death.
+ The cardinals pray for the guidance of the Holy Spirit during a Mass
+ The cardinals, sealed in the Sistine Chapel, vote every morning and afternoon.
+ A two-thirds majority plus one is required for election for the first 30 ballots. After that, a simple majority is required.
+ After each vote, they burn the ballots and add special chemicals to make the smoke white or black.
. • Black smoke means no new pope yet.
. • White smoke announces the election of a new pope.
+ The cardinals may elect any baptized male they wish. There have been occasions in the past where they have elected a layman. After their election, the layman has to be ordained priest and bishop.
+ They ask the one elected if he accepts. The moment he accepts, he is pope.
+ The pope chooses his “Papal” name.
+ Then the new pope is announced to the world.
With love in Christ.

Firstly, someone corrected your spelling of the german expletive, 'dummkopf, and they promptly got it wrong as well .... don't you hate it when that happens ?
Secondly, with regard to the present encumbent of 'St. Peter's Throne', Pope Benedict, you may be unaware that this distinguished ex-nazi was also the current day equivalent of the Torquemada, i.e he was the head of the lesser named successor to the 'Holy Inquisition' !
I have it on excellent authority that this Pope is the penultimate, and that as he is well advanced in years we shouldn't have too long before the game is up for this great fraud.

You cant spell in german, if one out of a thousand germans was pope then there would be 27000 popes as well.
You are an idiot.

I'm still a little bent out of shape that as a former Hitler Youth member (and, obviously, a Catholic) the bastige tried to blame the Holocaust on paganism.

Don't know - but before you start calling names, at least learn to spell them correctly:
dumbkopf
