What's so weird about that? You believe the head of state is chosen by a god and anointed in holy oil. An equally whack job proposition and certainly no basis for high office.I didnt realise this was still a thing! Stuff the reformation.

Pope Francis grants indulgences for Dublin participants
BBC News
Participants attending the World Meeting of Families in August can be forgiven their sins or help a relative speed through purgatory.
Pope Francis has granted a "plenary indulgence" for those taking part.
In Catholic doctrine an indulgence frees you from being punished for your previously committed sins or it can be passed on to dead relatives to shorten their time in purgatory.
