'Learn how to be a policeman, because that cannot be improvised. As regards being pope, anybody can be pope; the proof is that I have become one.' -Pope John XXIII
Angelo Giuseppe Roncalli was elected to the papacy in 1958; he assumed the name John XXIII and although his pontificate lasted only five years, he became the most beloved pope in modern times and the humanistic standard by which all popes are now measured by doing something no pope had done in generations -- go and personally preach among the ordinary Roman people, including the sick in hospitals and the condemned in prisons.
