32:05 You are actually attributing to the late Pope Michael I a motive that cannot be totally verified.

Bawden wanted to see if a Pope could be elected.

Ask Theresa S. Benns if she believed and perhaps participated in David Bawden sending out invitations to lots of bishops. If he actually did, he hoped for someone else to become Pope.

If he didn't, but the other participants believed he did, they at least believed the "emergency conclave" was validly convoked. And it's those other five who elected him.

So, to the purposes of at least five people (the only ones who voted for him, he didn't vote for himself) he tried to get a Pope elected.

32:37 Thanks for noting Michael II exists and at least admitting he's a priest.

You could have done one better and also admit Michael I was ordinained priest and consecrated bishop the Gaudete weekend in 2011.
