good chance for a black pope, no chance for an american cardinal (the cardinals will not want to give the impression that the Church i in the hands of the world's only superpower).

this may appear premature and uncalled for, but who might succeed John Paul II? the list includes 7:

  • Godfried Danneels, Archdiocese of Mecehelen-Brussels,Belgium
  • Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger,Prefect of Doctrine of Faith, Romas Curia (Vatican City)
  • Cardinal Claudio Hummes, Archdiocese of Sao Paulo, Brazil
  • Cardinal Andres Rodrigues Madriaga, Archdiocese of Tegucigalpa, Honduras
  • Cardinal Francis Arinze, Prefect of the Divine Worship and Discipline of the Sacraments, Romas Curia
  • Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn, Archdiocese of Vienna, Austria
  • Crdinal Dioniggi Tettamanzi, Archdiocese of Milan, Italy.


Arinze is from Nigeria, and i heard from MSNBC today that Tettamanzi might be the next pope.

To the Holy Father,Godspeed.
