Item #: SCP-3053
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: SCP-3053 is to be secured at all public events. Foundation guards are to be disseminated in areas where a large group of people are gathered near SCP-3053 to ensure no harm befalls them.
Should SCP-3053’s health deteriorate, they are to be made aware of their circumstances and Foundation personnel are to be assigned to them to ensure that their health remains stable enough to continue public activities.
When death becomes imminent for SCP-3053, they are to be moved to a secure location free of public surveillance, and await the SCP-3053-1 event. Should an SCP-3053-1 event occur before this can happen, amnestics are to administered to all involved and the event censored immediately.
Description: SCP-3053 refers to any elected Pope of the Catholic Church. No anomalous effect has been observed to occur prior to their expiration.
The moment SCP-3053 ceases brain activity, their corpse will be immediately accelerated into and then past the Earth's atmosphere into space through an unknown mechanism, regardless of any obstructions. Recorded speeds have exceeded that of 300 kilometers per second. The corpse will accelerate regardless of any obstructions, normally resulting in the destruction of said obstructions.
This event will not affect any Pope who undergoes official Papal renunciation.
This event (referred to as SCP-3053-1) has affected all officially recognized popes. Observations of the event show that the corpse of SCP-3053 seems to be impervious to damage. Exact observations are currently impossible due to the high speeds involved.
It is suspected that the corpses continue to accelerate once in space. The destination of the bodies is unknown.

Item #: SCP-3053
Object Class: Euclid
Special Containment Procedures: At all public speakings conducted by the elected Catholic Pope, Mobile Task Force Iota-10 ("Damn Feds") is to secure the perimeter alongside an extra .5 kilometers of area. If the Catholic Pope is to cease brain function, initiating a 3503-HAVEN event, the corpse of the Pope is to be transferred to Area-3053 and placed into the SCP-3503-1 Safe Proceeding Chamber.
Description: SCP-3053 is a phenomenon which occurs approximately one week following the elected Catholic Pope's death.
Upon the varying date following the Pope's lack of brain activity, the corpse of the subject (hereby designated SCP-3053-1) will autonomously launch itself upwards at speeds of 1 km/s. This event continues indefinitely and does not affect any Pope who undergoes official Papal renunciation.
The possibility that SCP-3053-1 instances halt movement once reaching a certain distance has yet to be confirmed.
Addendum: On 8 April, 2012, all celestial bodies which were previously visible through the artificial aperture within the SCP-3503-1 Safe Proceeding Chamber aligned to form a sentence:
JOHN 14:2
All bodies which were reported to anomalously align were proven to never have actually moved during this time, causing the event to be declared as a visual cognitohazardous event.
