It's a bit like Dr Who, but with white smoke.

I thought a Pope had to serve until he dropped!

Bless the Holy Father Pope Benedict XVI; wonder if the New Pope shall come from Asia or even Africa. One of these would surely not exhibit the characteristics of the European ones.

Would make no difference if he came from the Marianna Trench or Jupiter, he serves no purpose. Has no credence and is still the cause of much suffering around the world as are all the main religions and their 'heads.

Chop em off.

Completely missed the point of the comment; however not at all surprising.

He's the world wide equivalent of Jimmy Savile, he's even got a bit of Jimmy's jingle jangle going on.

Missed no points at all as there is no point in a pontif, a chief mullah, Victor the Vicar or Mungo the Mad Voodoo Man of Mauritius. In fact Mungo is probably the most relevant.

My money is on the Ghanaian Cardinal,

Were you of the mind there were none?

If not, it really is a misable point, wouldn't you say sir?
