sure..the next pope is going to be an indian woman. /sarcasm

Congratulations Nimrod, you just proved how scant your knowledge is -- What I stated was "Papacy is not Indian or Italian or German or Polish, but is separate from ALL of the nations, yet part of ALL nations " which seems to have nothing to do with your bile against the Church. Also, you show your utter ignorance that the Church does not have women priests, so no question of the next pope being a woman from any country.

And to top it off, we then see a person who has no knowledge (about current affairs among other things) top it off by trying to say that the next Pope could not be Indian == completely forgetting that India's Cardinal Ivan Dias was one of those supposed to be Pope JP II's successor and that he's now in the 2nd most important post in the Church after the Pope. An indian pope next? May very well be..

Thanks Marduk. I didnt know that Cardinal Ivan Dias is the Pope in waiting. Unfortunately I dont have access to the future current times or whatever you read./sarcasm.

Anyways let me answer my own question - the probability of a non white becoming a Pope is extremely small. Atleast a time-series analysis of data seems to indicate so.
