Tony Blair????

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 ...

Tony Blair????

Don't give him ideas!
Though I expect the thought may have already crossed his mind....

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.
