>>Pope needed. Must be a Cardinal. This is a one of a kind job and it is yours for life if you so choose. Benefits: cool hat, cool shoes. Best of all, you get to ride in the Popemobile as often as you want. This job will go fast so apply soon.

>I understand that being a cardinal is not technically a requirement. In theory, any male catholic can be elected, although in practice it is usually cardinals that become popes.

Hrm... it would be amusing if there was a Cardinal with the last name Sin... (I knew someone back in university -- a person of Korean ancestry who had the last name Sin -- that often joked about how it would be amusing if he became a clergyman)
