new favourite word
'Ortopapa'. Used by at least one writer during the 1378-1417 Schism, to describe the true pope, as opposed to the 'antipapa'. Who says that mixing Greek and Latin is a modern error? (Unless 'papa' is related to Greek anyway? I dunno, I'm just an ignorant medieval.)
Benedict XVI, Ortopapa. I like it.

Ortopapa - Hoorah! :)
It's all quite funny really, one of the new words that I have picked up after reading Cardinal Newman is 'sham'!
