He first became the Pope; then he became a Cardinal! At least, that was the way the game announced it. This all happened on the first day that the was a priest too - a level 6 piety. So he's the Pope and the College of Cardinals is vacant. It's so sad to see him staring at Rome there all by himself (he doesn't have even one ancillary yet to keep him company and apparently no one missed not having a Pop). Truly tragic.
