Putting an End to Speculation

As the Cardinals prepare to sequester themselves to elect the next pontiff, I'd like to personally remove my name from consideration. I will not run if nominated and will not serve if elected.

I cite, as justification for my reticence, my poor grasp of Latin; a well-documented fallibility in discerning the will God; and my overall non-Catholic-ness.

(Note: Any white smoke coming from my chimney this week should not be construed as anything other than my disposing of some old tax receipts.)

sequester? reticence? non-Catholic-ness? Are you like a writer or something?

Seriously though you would make a sweet pope. Plus you are like the complete opposite of that Nigerian dude in the papacy hunt. His "Papal Nemesis" if you will.
