Yeah, I'd much rather see a hardliner like Arinze as pope. And how great it would be to have an African pope! The African Catholics are in the front lines of a real religious war and are strong, hardened soldiers. They have much to teach the world. They deserve to be recognized and emulated.
I don't have a good feeling about this guy. He seems too "slick" and showy...
I don't have a good feeling about most of the leading candidates. Most are either too old or too liberal.
The Holy Father was truly blessed, given his ability to hold this cantankerous grouping together. I understand he had to crack heads a lot as well. I can see why.
