Resolution criteria:

This market will resolve to "Yes" if Pope Francis is re-elected for a second term as the head of the Catholic Church.

Background:

Pope Francis, born Jorge Mario Bergoglio, served as the head of the Catholic Church from March 13, 2013, until his death on April 21, 2025.

Considerations:

The concept of a pope being re-elected after resignation or removal is unprecedented in the history of the Catholic Church. Given the current circumstances, with Pope Francis having passed away, the possibility of his re-election is highly likely.
