Yeah, I was willing to adopt a wait-and-see attitude about him, but I've waited and now seen. He is just what many had feared. I think this will bring no glory to the institution.

I agree, but he doesn't think that his reign will be long-lived anyway. He is not prepared to bring about any real reform in the Church because he sees his time as a sort of interim Papacy. I was actually hoping that Francis Cardinal Arinze from Nigeria would be elected. I'm hoping that the next conclave will bring forth a more user-friendly Pontiff.

I was hoping for Cardinal Sin of Malaysia to win the Papacy.

Hello,
Cardinal Jaime Sin ? Its a shame he died, did alot for his people, even after he had to retired, one of those people with a presence that could get things done, from reading about him.
I think he was from the Philippines though.

No one who saw themselves as a long term Pope wanted to follow JPII and the laugh was the present Pope was supposed to be ill at thought he'd end up with it.
The way it got described to me was ; you know when you get a really successful coach of a sports team, and no one wants to follow him directly because they know he wont get to do much, they all want it the second time around. thats what this was.
