hahahahahahaha, I never in my life thought I would see the words "Pope" and "sock puppet" in the same sentence. Thanks for making me smile hon.

My little said that she talked to several priests today (they were coming in to her craft store to buy black fabric to drape the doors with) and apparently one of them told her the frontrunner is a cardinal from Germany.

I still don't understand why the cardinals over age 80 aren't allowed to vote. Is it because it's assumed they won't be around for the majority of the pope's reign or is it because it's assumed they're senile? Or something else entirely? Either way, I don't think it's fair.
