Shocking News

Really Old Guy with rather demanding job is acting old.

Who could have anticipated one of the oldest guys (sorry Joan) ever elected Pope, would start to wear down after a half-dozen years.

Shocking!

Popes are elected by Cardinals, who are installed by Popes, who are elected by Cardinals. This is the backside of an historical inflection point begun decades ago in reaction to the Second Vatican Council, where Mother Church has drifted farther and farther away from sanity.

Cherish this moment -- the next Pope will be worse.

During John Paul II's tenure, Vatican insiders told SPIN Magazine (okay, not MY source for discussing Catholic philosophy either) that JP2's successor would be the Church's Gorbachev. I'm still waiting.

Ah, well, covering up for the likes of Bernard Law must be absolutely enervating.

I think the only hard part of being Pope, besides no sex, would be ignoring the rape of children.
