Habemus bupkus

No pope as yet, so there's still time to place your bets. You can say three Hail Marys, or you can read The Reaction's scholarly tipsheet. His pick: Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, Archbiship of Milan -- 7 to 1 on Paddypower, but nearly 10 to 1 on Betfair -- in the third. The right age, the right mix of doctrinal conservatism and social progressivism. Perhaps the decisive factor: "he is extremely likeable." May divine providence guide you in your deliberations.
