White smoke at the Vatican.
The new pope will be announced shortly.
It's going to be an interim pope for a few months while they decide whether or not to keep him on.Quote:

Give him a chance, he’s just been involved in appointing Leo as his representative on Earth.Quote:

His successor, John Paul II, actually visited Cardiff to sort it out. Not many UK football grounds have had the Pontiff perform there.Quote:

Not trying to belittle your faith or beliefs, but what does a Pope actually do? Why are they all old when they get chosen.? Why can’t a Pope be in his 20’s or 30’s and a bit more dynamic?Quote:

Not hitting high enough child bumming numbers until they hit their 60's.Quote:

During the Pontificate of Pope John Paul I, John Buchanan scored 3, Ray Bishop scored 2, Gary Stevens scored 1 and David Roberts scored 1Quote:
