How did Pope Francis change the church?
Francis has only been pope for about a year, at the time of this writing, and one year is not long enough to make many significant changes to the Church. Arguably, he has made the Church a little more tolerant, for example by his statement that it is not for him to judge homosexual priests. He has demonstrated by his actions that three, or even two accepted miracles are not needed for canonisation of a saint; in three cases sar far, he has canonised persons with no accepted miracle.

How long does it take to become a Pope?
The pope is elected by the College of Cardinals who meet ten days after the previous pope dies. Recent elections have taken several ballots at the rate of four a day. It normally takes a career as priest, bishop and cardinal before you have a chance to be elected pope. Recent popes have been between 60 and 80 years old (roughly) when they were elected.
There was a tie vote for the pope. The cardinals saw a cardinal in a wheel chair and decided to vote for him because he would not live too long. The elected pope outlived his electors. Who is it?
Cardinal Saverio Mortati, a fictional character in Dan Brown's latest movie, Angels and Demons is the Cardinal in a wheel chair who is elected pope. The premise is ridiculous as there can be no "tie", the rules state that the necessary majority for election is two-thirds, so a tie is impossible.
