Won't you be surprised when I become Pope.

I'm certain you don't know the secret handshake, and since that is a prerequisite for any clerical position, your popedom is unlikely. Are you Italian by any chance?

What I was referring to was that those who call themselves protestants might be fewer in number, but the protesting goes on and on.

***I'm certain you don't know the secret handshake***

I know the Mormon secret handshake and they claim to have Peter's keys....

***Are you Italian by any chance?***

That's not a requirement. JPII is Polish and Peter was Jewish. Bout time a southern, married WASP was selected.

***but the protesting goes on and on. ***

Yeah, what's up with all the squabbling among my RC friends here. We Protestants are s'posed to be the one with many views. I'm getting lost as to whether Daylight Savings time makes a midnight mass illicit. And the thought that all NO RCs are Protestants sends be scurrying for my dictionary of Church history looking for the letter "P" (I must have missed something).
