This picture below shows the leading canidates for the new Pope.


"This graphic lists Roman Catholic cardinals seen as possible candidates to succeed Pope John Paul II, whose death was announced by the Vatican on Saturday. Speculation about the next leader of the world's 1.1 billion Roman Catholics is notoriously unpredictable and John Paul himself was a rank outsider whose election surprised the world."

I think it's time for an African Pope. Unfortunately, I think an Italian will be elected this time.

i wouldn't be at all surprised if no one on that list even makes it. Anyone ever heard of Anthony Cardinal Okojie?

Pope John Paul wa a good man.. may he rest in peace..

regarding his successor, it is very likely that he would be an Italian, the closer one is Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, the archbishop of Milan.. it is said that he's a supporter of the Opus Dei cult.. I don't know if that would help him or not..

speaking of a black pope, Cardinal Francis Arinze of Nigeria is mentioned.. he was close to the late Pope.. and electing him would boost Christianity in the developing country.. but it's unlikely..

anyway, we will not know before the conclave is held in the Sistine Chapel at least 10 days from now..
