Re: Well, you were wrong, no Lustiger.

Ratzinger in.


Isn't Ratzinger of Jewish ancestry? Schatzinger? Ratzinberg? <g>

Well, I guess Mgr Lustiger was deemed too extreme a choice... I was right, however, on ruling out an "African Pope" or a "Latin American Pope". I predicted correctly that the next Pope would be West European... Of course, I wish I could have access to the conclave's deliberations and minutes, if only to know how many votes were cast on Mgr Lustiger in the first rounds...

Re: I hope you had a lot of money riding on this.

LOL... Fortunately, I didn't bet at all. Of course, I wanted to bet on Mgr Lustiger when his odds were 12:1... I went to a Ladbrokes outfit downtown but the teller told me it wasn't possible in Belgium....
