Thread Name: BS: who will be next pope
Subject: RE: BS: who will be next pope
This is getting interesting. Supposedly two feuding cardinals of curia, Bertone and Sodona, are scheming to get in the German from Brazil..Sherer?? Bertone is number 3 in gambling sites, which horrifies me, as does number two, Turkson. I am hopeful that Shonborn seems to be stable around the top ten. I don't know about Tagle but he seems OK. O'Malley is up to something. He seems like a decent sort but he is going to appear on a SNAP list tomorrow of dirty dozen..is accused mostly of delaying abuse things but also gets credit for doing aan lot of cleanup. But he is pontificating all over the place now..and I don't get the impression he is running for pope, like the one from New York seemed to be a few months ago..thank heavens that has recided..I think someone told him to shut up...anyway, the "vatican" issues statemennts about things and O'Malley just casually disregards them..which I thhink is wonderful...he is sending some sort of message to the curia..hopefully that their days are numbered..anyway, it is very interesting to watch. I think he has many qualitries a pope needs b ut would be better running a retreat center somewhere but I am OK with him for pope.he seems amiable but also sly like a fox...also PROB Tagle and definitely Shonb orn is probably my favorite.
