I think the front runner for the new Pope is Cardinal Puff.

“The Turkey Trot, Grizzly Bear and Other Naughty Diversions”

“Starting as if in the good old-fashioned Two-Step, the dancers suddenly let go hands, the man slipping behind his fair companion, there is a little step and a hop, something like a turkey might be expected to do, then a fresh grip around the waist of the young lady, the man snuggles up ever so closely behind her and they hop, skip and jump and half run along.”

Archbishop Scola's backers weep as he slips down to 8/1, while Cardinal Pell comes up on the inside at 50/1....

About me: Being your slave, what should I do but tend
Upon the hours and times of your desire?
I have no precious time at all to spend,
Nor services to do, till you require.

"And now, the end is here
And I can grant no more indulgence
My sheep, I'll say it clear
Just stay blinded by my refulgence
I've let them live a life that's full
Let them travel and continue to prey
And more, much more than this, they did it my way

Regrets, well that'd be new -
But then again, such bad attention
Makes me wish I'd been sneakier than I was in their retention -
I planned each furtive course, each evasive step along the byway
And more, much more than this, I did it my way"

I'm trying to imagine this "race" being commentated on by the long-retired Peter O'Sullevan. :lol:

When a public figure resigns suddenly, it usually means that in a few days a sex scandal story's going to break.

LOL, Comments.

Oh, and science has killed far more people than faith. Guns. Bombs. Tanks. Bows and arrows. Internet forums. All science. :)
We don't care what the world thinks. Public opinion is fickle and changes like the wind.
