The First American Pope?
As soon-to-be Cardinal Timothy Dolan leads fifty priests on a visit to the "Holy Land," Catholic blogs, news sites, and even some mainstream media are speculating that he could become the first American pope. I can't see how a Pope Dolan could possibly be more anti-gay that the former Hitler Youth now sitting on the Vatican's throne. But we may know relatively soon as Emperor Palpatine is increasingly frail. NOM, of course, would be thrilled.
