He's just adjusting Clair. Has anyone started a book yet?

Can you place a bet at the TAB?

I like the Canadian Marc Oullet and also because he knows what a difficult job it will be.

I also like Hungarian Monsignor Peter Erdoe but it say's he is a long shot.

Possible Italian Cardinal Angelo Scola will get it but he is already 70. I think they need a younger man.

The favourite is Ghanaian Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson but although he is only 64 the photo shows him looking about 90 and would anyone be able to remember his name. We'd have to call him Pete.

Do they all get a new name as saints do? Sorry, I was brought up Catholic but I've forgotten it all.

Boy, you are wanting to bet on 3 I take it, can't get as good a price as if you bet on just the winner although maybe have a box trifecta :^O

I'd like to go with the trifecta but I would never know so I'll pick the outsider. Hungarian Monsignor Peter Erdoe

when thet pope chooses his new name, the decision will also send a powerful signal about the direction he intends to take the church -- and the type of pope he intends to be, says William Portier, chair of Catholic theology at the University of Dayton.

"In the Bible, when you get a new job from God, you pick a new name or you're given a new name, and that's the idea -- they feel they've been chosen to do this very weighty job and they need a name that will sort of help them and inspire them," Portier said. "It's also a signal to the rest of the church and the world."

Just saw the black smoke again and these thoughts came to mind

Q - does the church pay a carbon tax levy every time they belch black smoke out the chimney?

Q - is it racist to have black or white smoke in this politically correct society ? Maybe they could wave a red or white flag.
