Isn't black peter another name for father Christmas in some country!

My mistake, he is a companion of St. Nicholas in the Netherlands (just Googled it ) .

There is one thing wrong with the list , Margaret . It does not include the man who will be the next pope .

The next pope will be Cardinal Tagle , the Archbishop of Manila . He will be the first pope to take the name Joseph , and so we will have Pope Joseph I in about a month's time .

The BBC's list of ten frontrunners includes Cardinal Tagle but is slightly different in other respects from Margaret's list.

It should make be an interesting show

How will they do the tests?

penile plethysmograph testing perhaps?

That's one I had to look up. Interesting.

Would it be indelicate to ask how....... Yes of course it would, forget I ever mentioned it.

Isn't Joseph a Jewish name, so not suitable for a Pope?

A jewish Joseph wasn't good enough to be Jesus's dad either

PS Pope Gabriel, anybody?

Sharp! Quick off the mark there.

How do we know he would be Joseph? Has he said so?

The present pope was Joseph Ratzinger before he became Benedict. And isn't there a St Joseph's catholic church in Accy?
