A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, temperate, sober-minded, of good behavior, hospitable, able to teach... 1 Timothy 3:2
The papal conclave begins this week, and from this list I can see that I am not well-qualified. I guess that not one of the cardinals even knows my name in any case. However, as the pope is an important position in the world, we can and will pray for God's will to be done in the selection. Even if God were to not want anyone in that position? Hmm, I'll guess again that won't be one of the considerations. Don't blame the cardinals though, about every nation, kingdom, tribe and tongue seems to like those pyramidal org charts with one person placed at the top.
And so we pray,
Bucky
