NY Cardinal Dolan: Electing pope all new to him

You know how they say that every elected politician from dog-catcher on up thinks about running for President of the United States?
In the same vein, every priest above the parish level probably thinks about what he'd have to do to become Pope.
I don't know what Dolan's chances are, but you can bet he's wondering about that himself--who to talk to, what sort of horse-trading his brother cardinals might want for their votes, etc.

Dolan needs a few charms, and costume jewelry stones on his beanie. Perhaps a pair of sequined panty hose just to establish that "rich' look!?

They elect somebody to be "infallable". Stange, but not as strange as the 1st Council of Nicea in 320 AD where they VOTED on what would be in and out of the newly created Bible. The VOTE had to be OK'd by Emperor Constantine. The reult---a Bible drastically different that what pre-existed and an amalgum of various ideas about what was and was not saleable to the masses and yet not harmful to the dictator/Emperor.

I say, Bono for Pope.

They're all kid f..v..k..r...s anyway. They should dismantle the entire Vatican, brick by brick, sell it at auction, and give the proceeds to the children their priests raped and its cardinals, bishops, and pontiffs covered for, and then we'll call it even.

Dolan is cool and funny, he would be great to have some humor in Vatican City ! The place is beautiful but smells like pine!

Don't worry Timothy, when you get to the Vatican you will be met by a robot with a complete set of robotic instructions that you can program right into your robotic mind. However, there may be some difficulty with the instructions for control of your big mouth. Good luck.

Like it matters. They are all liars. Religion is the largest crock of lies this planet has ever seen.

Dolan would be a cool pope!
