Hope they elect the Nigerian cardinal. He might shake things up a bit.
We certainly need someone with a bit of charisma after the CofE appointed a deadbeat penpushing bureaucrat ...

Billy Connolly?
I do remember that years ago there was a Cardinal from the Phillipines called Cardinal Sin. I always thought he should have got the top job!

I am no relgious zealot and neither am I a catholic, but I have to say I am quite shocked at the flippancy of some of the replies on here.
It is a piece of news of great significance and great importance, to most of us anyway.
