Thank you... that means I should just continue deleting the little buggers and put my curiosity to the side. There are a lot of good people, extraordinary people, on this planet, endangering their lives or health for the betterment of others, but nobody is asking for their instant sainthood. People should wait at least 50 years to see what the real measure of a woman or man is, without the clouding of teary emotion over clear-eyed judgement. He will be judged in part by those he elevated to the rank of cardinal... perpetuating that dogma and covering the scandals. He was polyglot and charming, but his actions, and his inactions, will weigh heavily in the balance. Meanwhile, that is a job I wouldn't want, despite having the library and art collection. I don't understand all that posturing and politicing among the cardinals, but they are all caught up in a system where power is rewarded with the right to bestow power, and they desperately want to wear the ring.
