Maybe the gay cardinals have something on him the way they apparently did with Benedict.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I don't think the gay cardinals "had anything" on Benedict --- if it's blackmail you're implying. I think they just blocked him in all the complicated, underhanded, lying, devious, hostile-oppositional, passive-aggressive ways they can. Maybe they threatened other innocent parties, maybe an array of them, who they could drag through the filth or even physically endanger.

Benedict went to the only power that can prevail --- devotion to profound prayer to the only Lord, Jesus Christ --- and I believe that was the right thing.

Not that I have any special insider information. I don't.
