Ole pb hates institutionalized religion but, as many here know, he was involved in it for decades. He even taught "church" history for a few years at a seminary so pb knows stuff.
The conclave that will select the next Pope is made up of Cardinals under the age of 80. Here's sumpthin you may not know: The person selected doesn't have to be a Cardinal. It can be anyone the members of the conclave choose.
Fascinatingly, just last week, pb and Curt were posting about the fine qualities of the famous Maryland father, Kilmar Abrego Garcia, whom Curt admires. Ole pb aksed if the Maryland father would be the first Saint Kilmar.
And, then, as if in prophecy, pb noted that the Pope is "poorly." Ole pb wondered, along with Curt. Might he actually become Pope Kilmar?
Yikes, gang!
Now, the conclave is being organized and who knows!!!!!?
Curt's guy just may be elevated to the papacy, on his way to being a Saint!
