I'm no fan of the Church of Rome, but calling the College of Cardinals a 'puppet group' placed by the previous pope is a bit unfair (as well as quite inaccurate). There are a lot of Cardinals, and many of them have been in-post for a great many years. They come from all over the world and represent all the cultures where the Roman church exists. As a system of representative democracy it's far, far from the worst the world has produced.
