leaving, now what? Having been pulled back in to the periphery of the Church by
an accident of birth, marriage and the search for good schools, I have a vested
interest in who will be chosen for the next pope. Since ex-Nazis are in increasingly
short supply, it seems to come down to an Ghanaian Islamophobe, a Vaginaphobe Irish-American, or one of any number of Eyetalians. Seems all the potential
John XXIII's have died off or been booted to the back of the bus.
