I wonder why no information on the cause of the death was given ?That gives a tipical Vatican touch to the event , possibly death or maybe Vatican style murder ?He was apparentely in good conditions lately so it all sound more misterious.... Well a new Grand Master of the Knights of Malta must now be elected by the professed, religious members of the Order less then a month after the election of the new Black Pope ....Mmm.. and He serves for life. Elections of the Grand Master must be naturaly approved by the Supreme Pontiff Ratzinger the Pharaoe with a word of advice from Fr. Adolph Nicolas, SJ (newly elected Father General of the Society of Jesus), as the religious superior of the Order the Pope also appoints a Cardinal patron and a Prelate of the Order and the show continues in Vatican HQ's , were alot of changes are on the way after the election of the new General of the Jesuits Adolf pardon Adolph.Leo Lyon ZagaminowKhaled Saifullah Khan
