Pope of Rome to Step Down

[Kevin]

You've put more thought into this than I have, clearly.

To get my support back, the Church is going to have to make some pretty big changes, starting with turning every single document related to any priest abuse over to the authorities and compensating the victims, then turn an eye towards internal reform.

Basically, I want the Episcopal Church with a Pope... I'd declare myself to be Episcopal if one of the things I respect and value about the Church is its subsidiary institutions like Catholic Charities.

Sounds about right to this cradle Catholic.

My mother is running a blood drive at our Church right now. She is dying to know who it is, but can't watch! There are two that I'm not enthusiastic about, but can't say for fear of jinxing!

(I find it funny that I'm worried about jinxing something to do with religion)

Not really -- I'm just, as I said above, a churchgeek (and a Presbyterian one at that) who is repeating speculation from someone who seemed know what he might be talking about. He thought they were the front-runners, and a quick election more than likely meant one of them, while if it went past tomorrow afternoon, it mosr likely was not one of them.
