Don't understand what all the fuss is. Surely having a Pope in the 21st Century is even more obsolete than having an unelected head of state. On a global scale, the Pope is ever more irrelevent and the actions of the Catholic church seen ever more to be reprehensible. I don't see that the role actually achieves anything other than simply perpetual a distortion of something which was already hardly in keeping with it's origins by the close of Late Antiquity. All that is simply happening is that this means the elevation of another elderly person from a position of isolation to fulfil a role which has no bearing on how much of the world lives their lives and , especially seen from the perspective of an increasingly Islamo-centric world, is totally unwelcome.Comment

Adopt grittiest Northern Ireland accent:
"No pope in Northern Ireland!"
Equally gritty reply:
"Lucky old pope!"
Cant remember where I read that. Probably reported as being written on a wall in Northern Ireland.Comment
