Hello, I'm a Catholic who recently signed up for Tumblr and I unfortunately feel like I really did not understand what I was getting into with this website. For the last several weeks, I've been subjected to a campaign of internet stalking by a large gang of insidious thugs on this site. And I would brush it off as normal internet trolling, except that they seem to really know a lot about our faith!
The problem started a few weeks ago, when a "Tumblr famous" user known as "midgeonsmidgeon" messaged me. He claims to be the closest living relative of Pope John Paul I, who died after only 33 days on the throne. When a Pope dies, the death must be verified by striking him three times in the head with a silver hammer. According to midgeons, a church historian has recently examined the hammer used on John Paul I and learned it was only 87% silver. Per the canon laws of 1919, the hammer must be at least 90% silver to be considered true silver. Because of this and other "irregularities" regarding the death, midgeons insists that Pope John Paul I is still LEGALLY alive and still the Pope! And as his closest living heir, this makes midgeonsmidgeon the highest living authority in the Catholic Church until the corpse is exhumed and struck with the correct hammer!
Hi, I regret to inform you that you've been misinformed. There are no canon laws of 1919. In fact, the closest is the 1917 Code of Canon Law, which is no longer in effect since it's been superseded by the 1983 Code of Canon Law.
I would recommend brushing up a bit more on your ecclesiastical history before sending asks like this with information that's easily debunked by a quick wikipedia search. You should probably attend your Sunday classes more diligently (or lodge a complaint to your instructors for not teaching you such basic information). Just a friendly tip!
