GregChant1545:

There are only 11 U.S. Cardinals in the conclave.

Who are the incompetent (you said most) and who are the "one or two" criminals?

It surprises me that an Orthodox should be so bold and very uncharitable and un-Christian as to indict Catholic prelates. mad

Are you a convert? :p

Dear Amado,

Is there a prayer for protection from converts?

They've been all over me this week . . .
