Was wondering if there has been a new Pope elected yet? Have not heard any news lately. Wonder what's up and who they're going to choose? Maybe an American this time?

It's only exciting if his name is "Peter".

If the guy takes the name Peter after all the discussion about the prophecy, I'll be stunned. Not saying it won't happen, but how on earth could he do that? Unless of course he wants to troll the protestants.

How, you might ask? Take abortion as one example. The political power of the roman sect will be formidable in the battle against abortion. The fragmented nature of the thousands of protestant sects produces a system which simply does not have the clout of the roman sect.

"There are 630 Catholic hospitals in the United States, and one in six patients is cared for by one of these facilities. Not only that, the church manages 36 percent of health care facilities around the world. When you look at specific health initiatives, the Catholic Church is the biggest private provider of AIDS care on the planet, giving antiretroviral medicines, home care visits and counseling to one in four of the world’s 33.3 million AIDS patients."
