Interestingly, this is one way people would be chosen for promotion in a worker co-op. The Catholic Church has been syndicalist this whole time.

Edit: let me clarify that. The Papal Conclave gets all the cardinals together to decide on the next Pope. Usually, they choose someone from the cardinals (though not always). So typically, all the candidates for promotion are right there in the room and part of the decision making process.

Technically they can pick any baptized man, even if it has been a couple of centuries since they picked an outsider.

The last time they picked an outsider was in like the 1400s lol.
