Your link doesn't work, Ken.

I don't know about betting on cardinals but I believe it's a venial sin to back odds-on favourites.

You can rarely buy money.

I did a Google search and got the same destination.  Odd!

My money would be on some boring old Catholic bloke.

 

I see they're giving odds of 33/1 for the next Pope taking the name "Donald"...

Catholic bloke ? Why not a woman, they had one once (but didn't know it, hence the hole in the chair ritual so one of the cardinals can have a quick feel.)    

How about gettng topical and having a transgender ?

I've just read a couple of sentences on wiki about cardinal priests rising to cardinal bishops and titular churches and Pope Sixtus V, so I hope they can take a break for a bit of fun!!

I see my link didn't work because i followed 'https://' with 'www.'.

I thought 'www.' always had to be included. Every day's a school day on AB. 

using my work PC, I note the company has blocked Ken's link as it considers it "inappropriate".

Clearly to the French (our parent is based in Cergy), betting on the pope is indeed a cardinal sin.....

No www ?

Oh  I see you've already realised.
