About countable Ordinals.



Can someone with more knowledge and skill please confirm
the following for me.

========
Every constructive (recursive) ordinal has a co-final subsequence
of order type omega.
========

I'm pretty sure that one's true. Is it so?


Secondly:-

The first nonconstructive ordinal, w_1^[CK], does NOT satify the above.
Is that true too?


Indeed, I would guess that every co-final subsequence of w_1^[CK]
has the same order type as w_1^[CK] itself.

Is that true?

Some say the pope is the greatest cardinal.
But others insist - that this cannot be so,
as every pope has a successor.
