The cross on the top of Mont Royal in Montreal is traditionally lit purple between the death of a pope and the appointment of their successor.
Since Pope Benedict resigned a decade before he died, I'm wondering what the protocol is.

@evan it's the usual white tonight. I didn't notice if it was different last night though. I hadn't realized it had other colors.

@geoff332 we already have a Popesignal so I guess the time machine would be a good addition

There's nothing for it: they're going to have to build a time-macine.
