View submission: Are there examples of oligarchic governments being removed peacefully?
I'm sorry, this was very informative and I thank you for the insight, but there was a Cardinal named Cardinal Sin?

As per Wikipedia: "His title and surname as "cardinal sin" (another term for a deadly sin) were a point of humour in the Philippines and for Filipino Catholics. Examples included "The greatest sin of all: Cardinal Sin," and even his own pun of "Welcome to the house of Sin" that he used to greet guests at Villa San Miguel, the secondary archiepiscopal palace in Mandaluyong."
Finding this out has absolutely made my day!
