Vatican City, 00193

It turns out that after over 20 years, the would-be assassin of the Pope has said that Cardinals and Bishops inside the Vatican helped him in his attempt. Now, alot of people are up in arms about this statement. After all the guy has been saying for years that no one helped him and its not like someone who tried to kill the frickin Pope has the most credibility in the world.

I, however, take a different view of the matter. All I have to say about this is: Sweet, that's what I'm talking about. Its about time that there was a little action in the Vatican. For years I thought it was only the British with their wacking inbred royals that got to have all the fun of murders, bertrayals and other such staples of day time TV, but now it turns out that we Catholics might just have our very own Pope Opera on our hands. I mean, come on, "Who shot JP", just imagine the possibilities: Ratzinger's evil twin, a midget posing as an alterboy and trying to strangle the Pope with a palm frond, Francis Arinze turning out to be the illegitimate some of John Paul I, and some cardinal finally coming clean, but only after the Pope, the only person that can offer him confession, has slipped into a coma. I'm telling you it would be ratings gold. Ultimately there'll probably be some lame ending with the Pope waking up, finding Ratzinger in the shower and realizing it was all a dream, but it should be fun will it lasts.
