Dennis Rodman at the Vatican


With the Vatican chimney spewing black smoke for the second time before Cardinals adjourned for lunch on the second day of this historic conclave, and the one billion plus followers of Catholicism still without a Pope, the Vatican City has been besieged by quite an irregular man hoping to become the first man to visit the Pope and the North Korean leader in one month...

Yes, for some unknown reason Dennis "The Diplomat" Rodman has come to the Vatican to promote Ghanaian Cardinal Peter Turkson to become the first African Pope, although he had no idea what the Cardinal's name was, but would like to meet him in Africa after his installment atop the Church.

Luckily for Cardinal Turkson, his fellow delegates within the Vatican are barred from all outside information or contact during the ongoing election, leaving his candidacy with a prayer - as I'm sure there is some rule in some portion of the Catechism that prohibits individuals with support from Rodman from becoming Pope.

Which is also a good thing for me, because my personal favorite to lead the Catholic Church past Benedict XVI is Cardinal Turkson from the spiritual home of 21st century Christianity: Africa, where the never ending conflict between good and evil isn't just a Biblical hypothetical, but a daily occurrence for believers.

What say you?
