Summary/Abstract: The present article undertakes an examination of a set of lexical items – some of considerable antiquity and others of recent coinage, even of immediate relevance – that nonetheless remain absent from contemporary Romanian lexicographic works. These units are associated with two exceptional circumstances within the ecclesiastical sphere that have been the subject of sustained attention in the Romanian press: the disappearance of Pope Francis and, in its immediate aftermath, the rituals pertaining to the election and subsequent installation of a new pontiff. These events, which unfolded during the Easter season of 2025, generated a notable discursive response and brought to the fore a number of expressions whose semantic, pragmatic, and sociolinguistic dimensions warrant closer scholarly investigation.
