Dear ATPLus the Old, it looks like that at Your age You can become a pope anymore in these frantic times, so You'd better go on as a painter (a masterful one too), also because I'm not among the bunch of Italian cardinals who may vote You and one of those coming from UK had to resign and stay home. Moreover I may hardly think that other European cardinals and the ones from the rest of the world would vote a British colonialist (LOL) I'm kidding. For me the pope is OK wherever he comes from. Poland, Germany, what next?

Hail. O. Caesar O Mighty One. Have there been a Irish. Pope ? As Ireland is a strong Catholic

Country. And it would go down. Well in America. ,! So as your close to the action do you think

No Irish pope I think. Actually there was an English pope instead, Adrianus IV, born Nicholas Blackspear, who became pope in 1154. I don't think he was much appreciated by all Irishmen though, since he gave English King Henry the II the authority for Ireland invasion to stop the cases of ecclesiastic abuses and corruption then going on. Recently Benedict XVI did something alike to face and clean the concealed junk which eventually emerged and is emerging from a wrong concept of secrecy learn of to treat scandals, but in these days he couldn't be as radically tough as Adrian.

Hail O Caesar O Mighty O Mighty One Well they say you learn something everyday A Pope sending Troops into Ireland and it is still strong Catholic

One more charming lady, master Plus!

Actually it was the English king who sent his troops there to do the job (the pope never had more than a bunch of his guards) and apparently not the only time England invaded Ireland, even without an English pope giving them a pretext. However in the past methods were often less diplomatic and democratic anywhere and by anyone.
