    Being right hand man of JP II is reason enough to keep him out of the job....

    Was Drumm Sean Fitzpatricks right hand man? Sometimes the right hand man gets shafted.

    Indeed. Just look at the pope's former Vicar-General. He's the fall guy for the pope's failure to report a child rapist.

    On topic - I hope the pope doesn't resign. I'd prefer if he stayed on as a symbol of the moral bankruptcy at the heart of the church.

    Drumm became the fall guy but only because he wanted power and position. Mind you look at Seannie himself. He was a condender too.

    All organisations follow familiar and similar plans.
