Blackmailing the Vatican?

I must admit, the Sistine Bunker has me a bit spooked.

Not to mention the arrangement of Ave Maria in march tempo.

Although arguing against all this is Benedict's demonstrated ability to say "mass" without "extermination" in the same sentence.

But seriously, ladies and gentlemen ...

Do you recall the NBC TV announcer providing -- there's no other term for it -- play-by-play coverage of Pope Paul VI's first visit to America at Yankee Stadium?

I was a kid at the time, but I'll never forget the line. The princes of the Church were assembled in a dugout. At the appointed time, they appeared to the multitudes.

And the announcer intoned with all due gravitas, "And the cardinals take the field."
