That's a level of sinfulness which, thank God, very, very few of the rest of us attain. But there's something about the process of becoming a Cardinal that turns you into a moral imbecile, or worse... I'd like to mention that no one has been *convicted* of such crimes yet. Right now all we have are alleged crimes and cases being tried in the media. It doesn't look good though. :-( How many Cardinals are there in the US, anyway? Jon
