There are several papal contenders in the wings, but no obvious

I find it shocking that he did not first check in with us here on

"rec.boats" to get our opinion. How could he ignore such a great

body of collective wisdom?

Marc Ouellet would be an interesting choice, but I think the money is on

Angelo Scola.

A Canadian Pope would be outstanding but I wonder what Johnny and his
ilk would do if one of those darker cardinals from Africa was selected.
Oh my, guess who's coming to dinner.

I really don't see what the problem would be, Don, there have been at
least three from Africa - Pope St Victor I (ca186-198), Pope St
Miltiades (311-14), and Pope St Gelasius (492-496)

And with all i can find out about them nobody seemed to care


Nobody you hang with Tim. Seems to only be an issue with the race baiters here...

The problem is that herring is a racist. I wouldn't care if the pope had
