These options resolve YES if the new pope says the exact sequence of words during their first Sunday Angelus address as pontiff.

• The weekly Angelus address is typically delivered in Italian. Thus, I will use the transcript uploaded to the Vatican.va website for resolution.

• Examples:

  • Transcript for Pope Francis' first Sunday Angelus address as pontiff.

  • Transcript for his last address.

  • Thus, I will only be including what's in the transcript (which may or may not include the prayer, greetings, or etc).

• You can add your own options, but note: (1) I will be strict with resolutions & (2) I reserve the right to edit all entries to better match the spirit of the market.

• I don't know how long it will take for the transcript to be uploaded, & the market may close before then.

Resolution rules:

• Needs to be exact same words (in order): "laughing at all of us" does not count for "laughing at us".

• Needs to match on tense, pluralization, & possessives: "winner", "won", or "winnings" do not count for "winning", and "Project 2025's ideas" doesn't count for "Project 2025".

• However, any punctuation is fine ("Billions! And billions..." counts for "billions and billions"), and contractions also count as the expanded words ("what's" is equivalent to "what is").

• An abbreviation is its own word: "MAGA" does not match "Make America Great Again", "LGBT" does not match "LGBTQ".

• Different ways of transcribing the same word count: "January 6th" matches "January sixth".

• To add flexibility to an answer, use parentheses or an "or". So " 'Free lunch(es)' or 'school lunch(es)' " matches "free lunches", "school lunch", & etc.
