6. I don't recognise that Cardinal

But the chief celebrant of the funeral Mass was Cardinal Ratzinger. He's the Grand Inquisitor, not the Crusader.

7. Interesting you should bring that up ....

I watched a show last night and they said that one of the Popes (I think late 50's early 60's) was known as the Flying Pope - because he was the first to fly on an airplane and did a lot of traveling). I couldn't help thinking about the Flying Nun, and wondered if that's where they got the idea for that stupid TV series.

8. Tell the cardinal to stay away from the bean dip...

Geez..
