    To get them out of circulation. Those are three of the most notorious Popes ever. Which I’m sure is intentional on Pat Marrin’s part.

    If the motive is to get them out of circulation, why do the cardinals bother to trade them?

    That was my question. Or maybe they’re role models.

    Great best political commentary: late night television; political history: Brian Carroll; current Catholicism and catholic history: Pat Marrin. Sense and sensibility is only to be found on late night TV and in the funny papers.
