No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Im not sure if its exactly a requirement but priests have to have a degree and usually an advanced degree. Granted many get it in divinity but they also have to do seminary which can't start until age 25 and it is at least 5 years. So priests basically start out at age 30 and technically a pope could make one a cardinal right away in practice the average age of a cardinal is like 70. Popes can be drawn from anyone but are usually biships. Bishop are required to have a doctorate in divinity and be over age 35. They are also expected to be known for all sorts of good qualities. So figure to be known enough you can add 10 years being a biship. So for all practical purposes its very doubtful someone would be name pope before age 50 and they have usually been 60's or 70's.
While you are right on everything said there's only three requirements to be pope: having a penis, being baptized in the Catholic Church, and having being ordered a bishop. The last too can be done real quick in a pinch so the only hard pre-requisite is having your junk hanging down there, no need to be a priest even.
yeah technically, but as I said they are usually bishops and actually usually cardinals actually which has a average age in the 70's. So technically it could be younger but realistically it will not.
