Whilst you’re reading all of the tributes to John Paul II that will inevitably appear over the next few days, it’s worth bearing in mind a few things.

Probably the only thing I can agree with him on is his oposition to capital punishment.
And, on a lighter note, don’t forget that according to Malachy there are only two more popes to go.
Well, yes. I won’t be mourning him one little bit. I wonder if Ireland will go daft over it all? If so, I’m glad I’m here.
Im eagerly awaiting Pope Idol.
