In webgames Fantapa75,000 people have cast their votes in a kind of Catholic fantasy football. Players gather a team of contenders who feel like winning votes. “You have to choose 11 cardinals,” Pitro Paes, the co-producer of Phampapa, told Euro news“You think the most pope is.”
Cardinals you feel that it is most likely to be selected as the Pope, he is your captain, while you feel the least probability is put in the position of the goalkeeper.
In a way, this fantasy football webgame is the return of an old system of choosing a pope. Before deciding the seal room of the conclave, a choice of Rome was selected by common citizens.
“We know that religious hierarchies are part of power in this country and also say, at an international level, it is a historical event and it seemed interesting to take us from a light side, but is also based on real data,” Fantapapa’s other co-producers, Mauro Veneti said.
