Q: Why is the Pope better than Steven King?

A: Unlike King, he's still churning out books at an inhuman rate.

As true today as it was in the thirteenth century: popes are higher than kings.

I have to say I find the Pope's hyper-productivity simply astonishing. If I have one-tenth that guy's energy when I'm a Parkinsons-suffering septuagenarian, I'll be a happy, happy man. I'm really going to miss the guy when he's gone.
