Answers to your burning cardinalatial questions

So what exactly happens at a Consistory? Can we start calling Sean "His Eminence" yet? And when did they stop receiving the galero (oh tragic day!)?
Answers to these questions and more at Whispers.
I promise to start linking to other places soon.
BTW, not on Whispers, but well known protocol: next time you write to a Cardinal, the proper ending, now fallen into desuetude, is "Kissing the Sacred Purple, Mr. Lay Trash".
As my friend Joe has said so well in the past, "If the church isn't performance, then who is the man up there in the white dress?"
