So, what you are saying is that there is as much spritual significance and relevance in a covered dish supper as there is in selecting a new pope.
As a Christian - I totally agree with you.
No, but aren't you Protestants all about Fellowship? Isn't that one of your criteria when Church shopping?
As far as Papal March Madness - i.e. who'll come out of the Sweet Sistine - if you can't make little jokes about the things you love, it ain't love, it's an obsession.
