  Question 162: Why is it not possible that all Catholics are simultaneously popes?   
  [71] Jazzdog: It is not possible for all Catholics to simultaneously be popes, just as it is not possible for linen serving as General equivalent to share in the relative form of value. Otherwise, according to Marx, it would have to serve as its own equivalent, which yields no expressed value. I agree with Betty's statement in [70] that Marx says that General Equivalent is excluded from ever having its own use value. Betty's last sentence also applies to this question in that the use values of Catholics are expressed in the value of the pope. But, this excludes the pope itself from having a use value of its own.   
  At a specific time, only a single commodity can have direct exchangeability; and only one Catholic can be a pope.
