My dear friends,
This is very interesting and helpful.

The election process for the Coptic Pope makes the election of "our" Pope seem absurdly simple!

It does seem complicated but it seems more democratic as well and it seems more like the ways bishops used to be chosen in Catholicism, even bishops of Rome.
