...future instrument of Peace?


Pope Benedict XVI named 15 new Cardinals today. Among them Boston's Archbishop Sean O'Malley (pictured) who is a Franciscan.

I may not be a Catholic Historian (or even Catholic for that matter) but I for one would like to see the next Pope coming from a Franciscan background... it could change the world... although the history of Franciscan Popes hasn't been one to exactly smile on.
