You're absolutely right, Dan, about the "other 10%." When folks in my Massachusetts shul were urging me to fill the vacancy left by our departing rabbi, I was concerned that I didn't "know enough" to do the job. Their response? "You have all the leadership skills the position requires. What you don't know can easily be found in a book., of which there are many." Please pursue this goal so that history can record one family with both a Pope and a Rabbi!

Enjoyable column.
Well spoke, Dan! You have my full support as you navigate the intricacies of papal politics. Good luck in the Vatican!
Now that I think of it, I never did check the residency requirements for the Papacy.
