    The news was speaking of the ancient rituals that will most likely not take place
    as the Pope is resigning and didn't pass on.
    It's all really interesting and rather exciting. I'll be watching to see who gets in.
    I like the younger Cardinal, 64 years young from Africa ... what a smile :D

    Ill health.... mmmm... maybe a semi-valid excuse.

    The Vatileaks and the fallout from that - much more valid and probable excuse. The pope is 'dirty' - just as corrupted at the rest of the Vatican. Money, children, etc..... The next one will be just the same...

    What is the Pope going to do as a retiree? Move to Boca Raton and play Mahjong with the blue haired ladies?

    ...
    A Rabi and a Priest are waiting for the bus. The Priest asks, 'I understand, you don't eat pork. That is a very strange concept to me.'
    The Rabi asks, 'I heard you can't have sex.', to which the Priest answers, 'Yes, I have taken a vow of celibacy.'
    The Rabi responds, 'Too bad. You should try it... it's a Hellova lot better than ham.'
