Well tomorrow, they go off to choose a new Pope. The job has become very involved. It is a 24/7 job now; like being President of the United States.
Should the Pope be STRICTLY the spiritual leader and have a sort of City Manager run the other things. Then again, they could break into political parties with a Prime Minister. Can you imagine that, though? Your holiness, I humbly apologize, but I cannot form a government.
Food for thought.
