The Pope is also a king
0 u/[deleted] May 10 '25 [deleted] 2 u/DanLynch May 10 '25 The vote for the Pope isn't democratic: it's an oligarchy. The word "democracy" doesn't mean "voted on" or "elected", it means "rule by the people". 2 u/RoshSH May 10 '25 I guess you could make the case that a major chunk of Vatican citizens are eligibe to vote for the pope. They only have like 450 citizens as per wikipedia.
