Pope bet on his own election!

Irish Journalist has the story



Considering that betting on the papal election is punishable by excommunication, this could be fodder for people who want to ignore the last few years of Cardinal Ratzinger's tenure at the CDF. The odd radical trad might use this to justify their continuing disobedience, but fortunately all excommunications are automatically lifted for electors in a papal election.

On a related note, Father Joseph Komonchak has published an article titled The Church in Crisis. It seems flawed at points, and Jamie Blosser offers his take.
