re: #41 Jay C

And, according to her family lore, one of my best friends is the Queen of Portugal!*

And isn’t “Pope Michael” just one of a bunch of would-be “alt-Popes”? - mostly in Europe - who all claim that somehow or other Papal elections since whenever have been flawed in some imagined manner so that the guys who been wearing the white yarmulke in the Vatican (Karol Woytyla, Jorge Bergoglio, etc.) aren’t really legitimate? I’m surprise Pope Mike has as many as thirty fools adherents…..

*Or would be, if the 300 or so people ahead of her on the list of succession sudden all died. And if Portugal still had a Queen.

The Catholic equivalent of the Sunni vs. Shia split?
