The new head of the catholic church in England

[nametaken]

here

a very controversial choice I understand.

Can anyone clarify, does this mean that in theory he could be Pope one day?

Sorry I should have said

Head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales.

Apologies to any taffy's out there

it's alright. i don't think they have the internet in wales yet.

Apparently (so it says here) when told he had the post he "just swallowed hard and said yes"...

Must...
not...
snigger...

LOL UQD!

Yes, nametaken, it does. But that would never happen.

jeezo, that's hilarious.
i bet he did.

Speaking from the POV of being a bit jealous I am well chuffed that y'all might have yourselves a full-on-proper-Roman Catholic Arch-Bishop of Westminster who is actually the real deal. I think he is excellent and a great spiritual leader and pastor for English and Welsh Catholics. An inspired choice of BXVI. (BTW you don't have to be a Cardinal to be elected Pope.)

Would have liked it to be Timothy Radcliffe. But that was never going to happen...
