The Podium
 

 
Some critical theory, some public discourse, and some general nerdiness.

The election of the new Pope is a great historical event, regardless of whether one is Catholic or not. The succession is like a royal lineage, was equal to various kings and princes at one time, and can be considered the longest in history. The possible candidates include Cardinal Arinze from Nigeria, Cardinal Ratzinger from Germany, and Cardinal Tettamanzi from Milan. I am willing to make the prediction, in any case, that the new Pope will call himself Clement XV.
