A Catholic friend of mine told me that ordinarily they would never make a jesuit a pope (way tooo much power to give such a radical order). But they senced that their church was in need of radical change this time.
Mean while, Monson speaks through anynomous writers on a well hidden part of the mormon church's website, hoping no one will find what is written there. What contrast!
I think if people were asked if they wanted to meet Monson the answer would more than likely be "who?" I had never heard of him until last October. but then I can't remember what the popes name is, I mean his real name not the stage name he has taken, I think Francis, but I would have to google it,oops no need( see above) The truth is not a popularity contest anyway. it's about how tall your hat is.
