Heard yesterday it may be a Russian. This is pure speculation on the media's part. But I am sure they will have a hard time filling John Paul's shoes.

Remember the one linking Pope John Paul II to Star Wars, calling him Pope J2 P2?

He is the most promising candidate I can think of, Ratzinger might do as well. I am SSPX but I doubt Bishop Felley will be picked. It would be funny to see the heart attacks in the liberal wing of the Church should the Holy Ghost be moved to do so. My my my what ever would the lesbian nuns do? :-D

It sounds as if Cardinal Arinze is as strong a proponent of traditional values as the Nigerian Anglican bishops are.
To: Perdogg
I think the fact that he is 72 and "should" only be around for 10-15 years works in his favor also.

I wish they would keep their nominees under 64.
The last pope was what, 58?
I think the younger men work out. They have mor energy, can travel and the kids relate to them better than a grandfather Pope.
Just my opinion.

Yep . This is the state of Catholic ( so- called ) universities Not the university my daughter is planning on going to: New Catholic University in San Diego, California.
Arinzi spoke at the 2004 graduation at Thomas Aquinas College.
What a humble man. Great sense of humor, as well!
Read his commencement address here.

A Russian? Not Kiril Lakota, by any chance? (Obscure allusion to the novel Shoes of the Fisherman.)
To: Perdogg
I hope that they Appoint a Pope from the United States and think that the President should push for such a choice.
To: uncbob
Georgetown still has a mission statement that identifies it as a Catholic university. If faculty members have a problem with that, they don't belong there." This pretty much sums it up for me. I recognize that not very many people want to be teachers, but there must be enough to staff the private universities so that they don't have to hire whackos.

the President should push for such a choice. Absolutely NOT!! The President should not advise the Vatican on anything! As a Roman Catholic I would hate the thought of the President getting involved! I love this president don't get me wrong but this is something he should not be advising!

A NIGERIAN!! Nigerians are even more corrupt than Arkansans or even Mexicans! He would side with Kofi on everything.
I don't care about the religious aspects. But, the Pope has temporal influence and can be for or against us. John Paul helped Ronald Reagan destroy the communists. Bush needs all the help he can get to destroy the neocommunists. But, a Nigerian? Well, I guess if there is a guy who can be bought, we can put in a bid, too.

There is absolutely no chance of the next Pope being an American cardinal, and the President pushing for an American would make the cardinals even less likely to pick one.
