New Pope

So maybe the Cardinals were NOT teasing. They certainly appointed this Pope in a hurry. As for the people who were taking odds and suggesting a favourite never became Pope - they were wrong!

Given the trial in Italy of Mr Calvi who was associated with the fiddles that surrounded the Vatican Bank, in the not so recent past, I wonder if any of the Cardinals had a "you beaut" idea about sneaking out of the conclave and laying some bets on the selection of a Pope so as to replenish the Vatican coffers?

Now THAT would be insider trading with a difference!
