I also recall 3 Papal elections. We had two elections in the same year in 1978, so the process was well publicized that year.
While the Pope is a religious leader for us Roman Catholics, he is a political leader in the world as well and does have an impact on those outside the faith. Since he has the longest run as Pope, many on this board remember no other.

Should that be 2 papal funerals and 2 papal elections? Paul VI died in 1978, then John Paul I was elected and died after only a few days in the Holy See, and now JP II.
