Il Papa

So, do you think the cardinals sit around daydreaming about what their Pope name would be? Do you think they doodle "Pius" and "Benedict" and what-not in little curlicues on their notebooks during cardinal meetings?

Irina does not approve of this new Benedict at all. "Did you know he was head of the Vatican department that used to be called the Holy Inquisition?" I asked her. She wrinkled her nose in distaste. "Well Syuzan. I hate to be the one to say it. But how appropriate for a German."

Eh, you can take the girl out of Russia...
