John Kerry. He claims that he’s Catholic, or maybe he claims that he was Catholic before he wasn’t. It has to be better than
John Kerry as Secretary of State.

Harvey is as qualified to be Pope as obummer is to be President.
No, sorry, I take that back; No One is as unqualified to be President as obummer!

@45 – Personal preference:

Neat, and ever-so-slightly chilled (usually the cooling due to evaporation makes it perfect after about 10 minutes).

it should be someone who has worked with Clapton before . . . .

Oh…OK…the whole “Clapton is god” thang.

Given how deeply Jimmy Page is into Crowley, would that make him a “guitar satan” and his fans/disciples followers of a sonic anti-Christ?

Just askin’.

Reductio ad absurdum and all that.

@37 But the question is, does our new Pope Harvey I like it, being from Wisconsin, and all? Jimmy, the Conclave hasn't even sent up the plume of white smoke indicating Habemus Papam...we're still dealing with Novitiate Harvey and his dubious bibulous tastes. For all we know, there may be an inclination towards fortified wine or malt liquor dispensed in 40 oz. sacramental decanters [shudder]. Good God in Heaven, we may even be looking at the transubstantiation of lutefisk and akavit! [Double shudder.] Landbrot and Liebfraumilch I could tolerate. Ratzinger being a Nord-Rhein-Westphalian. We need an Irish pope! His Holiness, Pope Fintan-Diarmuid I !

Yes. And, it goes reasonably well with meat and potatoes, which is important. But so does a good ale. So, you have to choose. And for dessert, I would suggest any of the fine Irish Whiskeys.

Interesting, Bunker, I've always thought that Italian wines were the best in the world (assuming you like grape juice, which I do). But the question is, does our new Pope Harvey I like it, being from Wisconsin, and all? I mean, do they even know what wine is in Wisconsin?

If I were Harvey, I think I would skip the Baptism, First Communion and Confirmation and go straight for the Sacramental Wine. Actually, depending on the celebrant priest, the wine can vary from Two Buck Chuck to high-end Rhine wine or Italian Grappa. At my boyhood parish the priests used to keep the extra bottles in the basement of the Rectory. Fr. Pantoliano used to have his cousins send him cases of the wine they made in Italy and when he was doing the Mass there wasn't an empty pew. The stuff was good.

Basically the Muslims would be offended with a Catholic Pope. Just no pleasing some people.

Does the new Pope have to be Catholic? That seems kind of discriminatory. Maybe to keep the libs happy the church should go with someone like Richard Dawkins or Peter Singer….but they are male so maybe a female athiest….but not a straight one. A gay female athiest. That should keep the libs happy but then the muslims would be offended….this is a tough decision.
