I'll be even more surprised than I was today the day a Merkin cardinal gets to wear the big hat.

There once was a primate called Frank
Whose semen reputedly stank
So he wore Paco Rabanne
And turned on a fan
Whenever he fancied a wank. :tea:

I've just realised the first fighter from Vought would have been the FU. I wonder if there was an FU-2 variant? :eddy:

EDIT

Yes there was!

There is clearly something of a schism in the Holy See. Jorgio, like Joseph R. Might be a bit of a hardliner, but he's another decrepit goon who won't last too long. Like Ratzinger he's a placeholder until they get their shit sorted out.

Except they never will sort things out. They're caught between atheism/secularism on the one side, and an expanding evangelist movement in South America/Africa on the other hand. Throw into the mix all the hidebound traditions that constrain thoughts and actions, not to mention all the scandals that have yet to be properly address by them, and the future is not exactly rosy.
