Worst possible time to have an apostate Pope.

The reason we will have to depend on a coalition of Protestants, conservative Catholics, Mormon, Jews and possibly others . . . or the second coming of Jesus Christ.

I'm not sure the College of Cardinals has the will or even the ability to remove an apostate Pope.

William F. Buckley’s quote about how he’d rather be governed by the first 100 names chosen from the Manhattan phone book comes to mind.

One of the Catholic Church’s greatest strengths has been that it is not a democracy. Some of our Protestant brethren have fallen victim to the shortcomings of this when Biblical truths became the subject of up-or-down votes.

However, in this instance the people making the decisions are such insular head-up-their-you-know-wheres elitists, that I think we might be better off letting 100 random Catholics choose the Pope.
