...I noticed, over on Paddy Power, that Fr. Tim Finigan has entered the field for the Westminster Sweepstakes......and this late runner has pipped Cardinal Pell, entering in at 10-1.
Sorry as we in Blackfen would be to lose him, (and recalling a comment a while back on Fr. Z's blog about the appearance of the words "Mene, mene, tekel and parsin" on every episcopal dining-room wall), I think that "Timothy Cardinal Finigan" has a certain ring to it...
It certainly does. And it could take the Church into a new era in England.
ReplyDeleteHow cool would that be?!
ReplyDeletePRiest to cardinal in a heartbeat. It would help if it were the middle ages and he was the pope's nephew!

Ok, so who's taking odds on which name he'll take on after the Conclave? ;)
ReplyDeletebeats "Timothy Cardinal Radcliffe"
ReplyDeleteCertainly, Fr. Finigan would probably the first Cardinal to re-instate the ferriuoluo and galero.
