Interesting indeed. Who will be next...
An older South American for 10 or so years, than a younger Asian pope.
A South American pope would probably be the easiest for people to accept. Soldify the church's base in South America and the spanish speaking American population.
Don't know...interesting though...I wonder what sort of silent campaigns are going on.
Politics ... without sex!!! Jeez!!!

Good chance of a non-white pope. Not so good to dismal chance of a liberal pope.
