Succession is the process by which power is transferred from one leader to another, either through hereditary or electoral means. It provides immediate continuity after an unexpected vacancy
In some cases, the successor takes up the full role of the previous office-holder, while in others, a caretaker chosen by succession criteria assumes some or all of the responsibilities.

Comments are subject to deletion if they are not germane. I have no problem with a bit of colourful language, but blasphemy or depraved profanity will not be allowed. Attacks on the Catholic Faith will not be tolerated. Comments will be deleted that are republican (Yanks! Note the lower case 'r'!), attacks on the legitimacy of Pope Leo XIV as the Vicar of Christ, the legitimacy of the House of Windsor or of the claims of the Elder Line of the House of France, or attacks on the legitimacy of any of the currently ruling Houses of Europe.
