Roman Emperor steps down becomes Bishop of Rome.

Wait? The Emperor retires to become Bishop of Rome when the Empire falls?

Or are we talking about this being a long-standing practice, with the Emperor retiring to becomes the Pontifex Maximus? (perhaps to be a fallback if the new Emperor dies unexpectedly)

I think both variants are allowed in this Pod, too. At least one Emperor doing it is the requirement but the common practise rather than election could be interesting, too.
