Gotta Scoop on the Cardinal Controversy!
Cardinal Njue disputes exclusion from the conclave, asserting, "I'm not ill."
Cardinal John Njue of Kenya is making waves for a strange reason; he's one of two cardinals who won't be taking part in the Sistine Chapel's grand gathering the next day due to health concerns. But here's the odd part - ol' Njue himself is hollering about his exclusion!
Well, that's what we'd believe if the Kenyan Bishops' Conference and the Vatican didn't jump on the case to deny, deny, deny! You see, ol' Njue's been in the news lately thanks to some sneaky age-fudging. By rearranging his birthdate, he slid under the usual 80-year age limit, making him... well, a cardinalal elector on paper.
Now, this isn't an unusual situation, as another cardinal, Philippe Nakellentuba Ouedraogo of Burkina Faso, went through the same song and dance with a birthday makeover. There was no scandalous hoo-ha over it, though - the Vatican press office explained that, while not all countries have their civil registry offices on the ball, a new official document can still bring your birthdate up to speed.
In Njue's case, however, the story took a turn. It was revealed that health issues, not age or eligibility red tape, were the culprit preventing his attendance at the conclave. Yeah, that's the official line at least – there's been some rumor mill chatter about exclusion, but let's face it, those Roman Catholics can keep a secret like nobody's business.
In the end, ol' Njue's non-attendance is all about health issues, not age or eligibility controversy, despite the whispers and claims to the contrary. So, there you have it - class dismissed!

In the realm of sports analysis, Cardinal John Njue's exclusion from the Sistine Chapel's gathering, while causing a controversy, has been predominantly due to health concerns, not age or eligibility issues.
