boyfriday Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Following on from Harleyman's comment on another thread, it appears such a proposal is being taken seriously by the bookmakers. Cardinals Turkson and Arinze are being strongly tipped for the hot seat, apart from apparently being first class theologians, the Catholic church recognises the strength of the faith in African countries. http://news.sky.com/story/1050889/pope-resigns-frontrunners-emerge-for-role Could this really ever happen? Americans have a black president, are Catholics ready for a black pope? The faithful better be prepared for fried chicken coming on the menu and Stevie Wonder heralding the papal address!

jfish1936 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 A black Pope would probably be strong to preserve traditional RC values and practices; don't expect him to go for women priests or contraception. The faith is indeed strong in African countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amaranthus Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Because all black people conform to these traits I presume. BF does. Just an ordinary Saturday night for him, in his pants, eating fried chicken and listening to Stevie Wonder. Don't you know anything about black culture Alien?

stingray-man Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 What difference does it make ?, does anyone who does not follow religion really care ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gnvqsos Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I would choose one from Latin America -very handy for a traditional liturgy and a grasp of terms like matins and vespers.Might find it hard shopping in Rome where few know Iberian languages.

Happ Hazzard Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It'd be nice to have an English pope for once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
