Well, heck! I can't watch too much TV tomorrow because I am watching my granddaughter. Maybe the definitive vote will be tomorrow, before I leave.

>>>>Cardinal Ratzinger is Obi-Wan Kenobi while the new Pope is Skywalker.

>>Luke, I hope you mean, rather than Anakin! And surely not Leia!!!!

And I'd rather say Yoda than Kenobi. I'd hate to think Ratzinger is hanging out in a tawdry bar, like we found Kenobi.

ROTFL! It is a bit much but I think they didn't want a repeat of black/gray/whitish again :)

Well so much for CBS webcam. It didn't show up as fast as the EWTN chimney. Must be a delay from refresh.
