That reminds me of the Tick issue where Chairface Chippendale tries to write his name on the moon, and the Tick stops him halfway through.

My god, I was just thinking the exact same thing!!!

Giacomo: I agree with the sentiments quoted in yesterday's NY Times Week In Review: that the next Pope will not be American, because most of the College of Cardinals are from Europe and the developing world, both areas very much under US influence, and they don't want to hand over the Church to the US, too. Plus, we're way too liberal here.

I am more inclined to believe that the next Pope will instead be from a Third World country, where the Church is actually expanding in numbers and influence, and the brand of Catholicism practiced is overwhelmingly dogmatic and conservative.

I have been watching events unfold over the past few days with a strange sense of detachment. I was raised Catholic and attended Catholic school for 9 years, so I remember the elections of both JPI and II well; but I left the Church years ago, when it became clear that as a woman there is no place for me at the table. The Catholic Church does not want me, therefore I no longer have a use for it, either.
