Blog for possible successors

Here:
http://papabile.blogspot.com/

And some more info on this year's conclave if you want to learn more about it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_conclave%2C_2005

It looks like Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger will be leading the conclave so they will probably choose someone else. Keep in mind that a number of Popes including John Paul II were not papabile. And a number of cardinals who were presumed to be shoo-ins didn't make it. "He who enters conclave as a pope, leaves as a cardinal."

Conclave starts on April 18.

1. The fact that this blog...
...seems to quote heavily from the "Cardinal Ratzinger Fan Club" website does not fill me with a great desire to follow it.

For that matter, the very fact that there is a "Cardinal Ratzinger Fan Club" is dismaying enough...

:banghead:

Please God, let them choose someone else.

3. What's bad about Ratzinger is that he could last a while.
He is in pretty good health for a man of 77(soon to be 78) and could hang on for 10-15 years.
