POPE FRANCIS TO LIE IN STATE NEXT TO WINK MARTINDALE; DUAL VIEWING FIRST SINCE PAUL VI, ART FLEMING
(Vatican City) In a show of humility typical of his papacy, Pope Francis will share his viewing with long-time television game show host Wink Martindale. The Pope and Mr. Martindale will be laid in caskets side by side beginning Friday in Saint Peter’s Basilica. Millions of people are expected to pay their respects to the first Latin American Pope and the beloved host of television’s “Gambit” and “Tic Tac Dough.”With both men passing away in a span of one week, the dual viewing made perfect sense. “We thought it would be more convenient for mourners to pay their respects to both men if they were brought to one place,” said Archbishop Jack Barry.
“It’s ironic that the Holy Father was prepared to preside over Mr. Martindale’s funeral service, and then, this,” he said, his voice cracking.
This is the first time a Pope has lied in state next to a quiz show personality since Pope Paul VI shared a grief period with Art Fleming, long-time host of “Jeopardy.” When asked if he anticipated any future double viewings, the Archbishop said, “that is not likely.”
LEADING CATHOLIC THEOLOGIAN WARY OF ZOOM CONCLAVE, MAIL-IN BALLOTS IN SELECTION OF NEW POPE
(South Bend, Indiana) A respected professor of religion and expert on the papacy at the University of Notre Dame is warning that adoption of a so-called “Zoom Conclave” with the College of Cardinals as well as the adoption of “mail-in” ballots from eligible voters could create controversy in the selection of a new pope.
Dr. David Corbett spoke with reporters outside his office this morning. “There is no substitute for in-person meetings, particularly when it involves selecting a leader for the one true Holy Roman Catholic Church. Now that the Cardinals are meeting via Zoom, how often do you think someone is going to turn off the camera and audio after joining the meeting? I hope it never happens, but it certainly could.”
He went on to say that mail-in ballots are fraught with peril. “The instructions with the ballots that were mailed from the Vatican yesterday clearly state that the ballot must be marked with the full name and address of the voter on the return envelope. What happens when one of the men neglect to include a date, or fail to write their full name? I see the potential for chaos.”
Dr. Corbett concluded by saying that the ‘I Voted” stickers given to all eligible Cardinals in the pending papal election was “a nice touch.”
