-- he probably has no chance.>

I think no chance is correct.  Here, as there, it's Pope, etc. 24/7 to some
degree on all channels.  The reason the somewhat liberal has no chance is
that I just heard that all but three of the cardinals were appointed by
JPII.  My Catholic friends keep waiting and waiting and waiting some more
for the next Pope, expecting him to be more in tune with gays, women, stem
cell research and the things we more or less know from scientific
information.  I myself don't expect this.  I think to myself, how many
generations are they willing to wait?  Probably doesn't matter one way or
the other, as on the post regarding the state of the planet posted by
Steven I think, the earth is at or near the tipping point.  Over population
is at the base of much of our environmental woes.  Attempts at rescuing the
planet are probably too little, too late.
