Well if Vincent Nichols, current archbishop of Westminster, gets a red hat at the next consistory he could be papabile. I assume Liverpool is in Lancashire for the purposes of this comment on my blog. However, given his recent performance in Leicester I would doubt if he would even be in the running as a compromise candidate between the various rival factions. Here we have pissed off Italians who think the jobs is only for an Italian. Furious Latin Americans who, on a head count of the faithful, should have their turn. The increasingly loud lace and ad orientem brigade who just love wearing 30 feet of red crushed silk and shoes to match who somehow think this is what Jesus would want, Yes. The quite intellectuals who thought having Rowan Williams at Lambeth would make all the difference. So it goes on. I really do not think Vincent figures, Too nice too liberal, too lightweight. Miracles happen.
Its high time we had a Lancastrian Pope
