  1. In an unprecedented move, I nominated you for the Papacy! Mostly so you could have the wardrobe and ride in the Popemobile.

    In all seriousness, I’m exceedingly sad that we will not see any change the in the Catholic Church, for all of the cardinals were appointed by JP II, and Benny.

    • Although they will frequently alternate Popes in the sense of “conservative-liberal.” Still, I do not think that even a “liberal” Pope will be much of a change on things like women’s rights, birth control, etc. I think they would focus more on battling corruption and abuse (not un-noble cause).
