I'd look to the prophecy of Irish St Malachy for the inside scoop on the next, and second to last Pope.

I wouldn't.

[TheRightGuy]

It's a world gone mad.

I agree, and with all this hubbub over the Pope, can you just imagine what it'll be like whenever Jerry Falwell dies?

[BigEdLB]

As a non-Catholic I look at it from a different point...

Card. Arinze co-favorite? The Islamofacists in Northern Nigeria would deficate in their breetches/smocks if that happened.

[Dog Gone]

We could run a separate bet on what name the new Pope will take.

[anniegetyourgun]

I imagine it will get scant mention....and that with spitting vitriol from the MSM and most of the world.

[MirrorField]

I'm picturing a new reality show: "Conclave"

They could air it on the Catholic Channel.

Ain't Gonna Happen. Former Pope left some iron-tight rules about Conclave, which specify among other things that cardinals swear oath of complete secrecy and anyone leaking anything about what happened inside conclave faces automatic excommunication, unless specifically released by next Pope after his election.
Read the rules yourself, they're publicly available: Universi Dominici Gregis.

dubs, tell me you don't have $$$ on this... ; )

Nope. I don't have an account with any company that makes book on this.

[LibWhacker]

God, give us a Crusader. And not one of those girlie wankers spoon fed since birth on liberal baloney! We need a Pope who can clearly distinguish between Good and Evil.
