As Cardinals flock to Vatican City to pay respects to the old Pope and then elect a new one, an Australian Cardinal has told the local press of his excitement to be there, not only to vote but also consume a Conclave sausage or two.

”As I will be at the Vatican I will miss out on my usual democracy sausage, however, I am told that the Conclave sausage is almost as good,” said the Aussie Cardinal. ”My predecessor Cardinal Pell always talked longingly about his love of the sausage.”

”And a bonus is that every Conclave sausage bought helps raise money for charity.”

When asked whether he expected the election of a new Pope to be an easy affair, the Aussie Cardinal said: ”There’s a saying you know, what happens in the Vatican, stays in the Vatican.”

”But, rest assured, my colleagues and I will be there to focus on the job at hand of electing a new Pope.”

”Once done, then the sausage party will begin.”
