Not only is there no link to any factual source, but the article ignores the fact that the Vatican is a soverign country and the Pope would not need to beg anyone for protection."I am sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and you disagree with this administration somehow you're not patriotic.

And according to a reliable source, a fair few arch/bishops, and some of the Swiss Guards. The Vatican should open its own sauna if it doesn't have one already.Originally posted by Alexander's Horse View Post

Cardinal Marc Ouellet of Quebec has best odds to become pope: Irish betting house Paddy Power
Quebecer considered by Ladbrokes as No. 2 among papal prospects to replace Benedict
The Paddy Power bookie firm said late Monday morning it will pay 5 euros should a bettor put 2 euros on the Quebec cardinal and the Canadian cleric is then chosen for the papal succession by the upcoming meeting of the College of Cardinals.
Bettors as well as believers will know soon — after a puff of white smoke is next released from the chimney at the Sistine Chapel.
That’s expected sometime in mid to late March.
Two others considered among the front-runners by Paddy Power, a large Dublin bookmaker, are currently listed only slightly behind Cardinal Ouellet.
They are Cardinal Peter Turkson of Ghana and Cardinal Francis Arinze of Nigeria.
Paddy Power lists both as 7-2, meaning a successful 2-euro bet in either case would pay off at 7 euros.
Ladbrokes, another gaming giant, has made Cardinal Turkson its front-runner, at 5-2, the same odds and potential payoff given by its Irish rival to the Quebec candidate.
Ladbrokes provides Cardinal Ouellet slightly longer odds, 3-1, thus anointing him its second-favourite papal prospect.
For that betting house, Cardinal Arinze is ranked No. 3. He’s been placed at 4-1.
In July 2010, Cardinal Ouellet, who is 68, became prefect of the Congregation of Bishops, the arm of the Vatican that makes bishop appointments around the world.
That triggered speculation that the multilingual churchman was increasingly well-positioned in the line of prospective papal succession — speculation which Cardinal Ouellet moved quickly at that time to try to quell:
“I’m surprised to be today in this position,” he told reporters at a Quebec City news conference before he relocated to his new, powerful position at the heart of the church, in Rome.
“And I don’t think that I will become a pope someday, I don’t think so,” Cardinal Ouellet added at the time.
To become pontiff, he told the Le Soleil newspaper in Quebec City in June 2011, “would be a nightmare.”
A pope’s duties, he added, “are perhaps not very enviable.”
And a pope’s responsibilities “are crushing,” he said.
A pope “has the help of the Holy Spirit, clearly,” Cardinal Ouellet said, “but it is a very heavy responsibility. Nobody campaigns for that.”
Cardinal Ouellet set off a firestorm of controversy in May 2010, telling an anti-abortion conference in Quebec City that terminating a pregnancy is a “moral crime,” even in cases where a woman has been raped.
His comments provoked harsh rebukes from several womens’ rights organizations — and also from Parti Québécois leader Pauline Marois, who last September became Quebec’s first woman premier.
Cardinal Ouellet subsequently sought to “clarify” his statements.
He said that while he does not condone abortion, he does not condemn women who resort to it. The cardinal has also been an outspoken opponent of euthanasia, equating secular support in Quebec for abortion and euthanasia as a celebration of a “culture of death.”
Another slice of non-Canadian bacon:
