The senate, the assemblies, the elected and appointed … are some of the aspects of politics that the Centuries deal with. Nostradamus makes a parallel between the yesterday's territorial conquests and today's concern for the economy. In the end not much has changed and what will follow could be similar to the fall of Rome with the rise of a new religion followed by several centuries of dark and middle ages.
The criteria for regrouping the quatrains are based on some identified keywords. Appointed popes are excluded from this theme.

Assemblies / Congress
1.42 Assembly, gold and diamond / lover (Fr. d'Amant),
"The tenth day of the April Calends, calculated in Gothic fashion"
is revived again by wicked people.
The fire is put out and the diabolic gathering

This is a link between le fire (flame / light) extinct of the Vestals and the earthquake.

The elected and appointed
This is an important theme of the Centuries.

The day after a Pontiff will be elected:

The Shaven Ones captured: the all-powerful One elected:

Posted by: Laury
This quatrain indicates that red crusader and raze are Templars (the Pope's military order of crusaders).
A6004 Elected / appointed Shaved head - legitimacy
With the place chosen, the Shaved Ones will not be contented,
Led from Lake Geneva, unproven,
They will cause the old times to be renewed:

Quarrels and new schism by the red hats
When the Sabine will have been elected:
"They will produce great sophism against him,"
And Rome will be injured by those of Alba.
Posted by: John
So, we should expect a Sabine pope and a new schism in the Catholic church. This Corroborates the interpretation of the 6-6-6.

He who will cause a cruel plague in his realm.

Potential indication of dissensions between Nostradamus and the Catholic Church.

"Two couples roundabout route Queen the white stone,"
The monk king in gray in Varennes:
"Elected Capet causes tempest, fire, blood, slice."
Posted by: Laury
The elected one would be Hugues Capet, a French king, first of the Capetian line. He is mentioned several times in the Centuries. During the revolution, the king was still referred to as a Capetian although he didn't have much left with them.
A6002 Election / appointment the "vefue" - widow

The term age has been used at another point in the Centuries to refer to the turn of a millennium.
H095 Election / appointment of Modone Fulcy
The aforementioned reign of the Antichrist will last only until the coming of the one born at the beginning of the (new) age & on the other end at the city of Plancus (Grenoble), associated with the elected one of the House of Modena Fulcy, through Ferrare, maintained by the Adriatic Ligurians, & the proximity of great Tinacry.
Posted by: Johny
The elected / appointed one is linked to the Antichrist : Pope, Republican from France or both allied together. An Antichrist is one who persecutes the religion of Christ, which obviously France has in mind to do.
