Pontificating

Well, we can't exactly pretend we couldn't see it coming.
When the pope resigned we tried to convince Igi that he should run for the spot. He refused, which struck us all as a bit strange (I mean, wearing that funny hat and preaching to the converted - who does it better than Igi?).

Now we know why. The new pope is a Jesuit. For those of you who do not know, the Jesuits swear obedience to St Ignatius. Also, he speaks Spanish.

Something tells me there's going to be a lot of white smoke rising from the Bloom chimney in the future....
