I wonder if the Vatican chose an American Pope out of concern Trump would hit them with tariffs for exporting religion to America.

It must also be a very dangerous job as most candidates don't usually live a long time after getting the job.
A bit like lawn bowls. A very dangerous sport. More people die playing this sport than any other.
I still think that makes bowls a game as one has to die from an activity to make it a sport, like a car racing or hang gliding crash, getting hit in the head by a golf ball, etc.

I see what you're saying but I still think that makes bowls a game as one has to die from an activity to make it a sport, like a car racing or hang gliding crash, getting hit in the head by a golf ball, etc.
