Resignation Now Looking Likely After Flood Of Money Is Reported
Resignation Now Looking Likely After Flood Of Money Is Reported
Paddy Power had this to say on recent events and the gamble that has taken place: “The dark clouds of clerical abuse scandals show no sign of abating and recent reports from Germany are surely a little too close to home for the Pope. Current betting patterns hint toward a possible papal resignation and should this happen Cardinal Arinze seems the most papabile”
.
Paddy Power were forced to cut the odds of Pope Benedict XVI resigning from 12/1 all the way down to 3/1. At the same time they saw significant money for Nigerian Cardinal Francis Arinze to be the next Pope and he is now a clear favourite at 4/1 with Paddy Power.

hope he is the next pope, it will fulfill nostradamus prophecy...we would have the black pope and obama the great divider as antichrist at the same time in power. hope it happens. current pope needs to be ousted for ignoring the sex abuse stuff.
WOW, what a bunch of bigots! Only white people are good and unify the world. ReallY? Western Europeans and their descendants have ruled the world for the last 3000 years and look at the sociological, economical and ecological mess they have made. Maybe two Black men could start sorting out the mess.
