“I’m not Catholic. I don’t care who they elect but any consideration of race or geography, plus or minus, is wrong minded. No, I don’t believe in Affirmative Action but I have no proof it would be employed here. I don’t think you do either.”
From the posts on this thread, it was the first thing that was spoken about, having either an African or South American Pope. Anyhow, you don’t have any dog in his fight as you are not Catholic. Therefore it is immaterial to you as to who is Pope. Well I do care, and I am of western heritage, and Catholicism is a western heritage religion that should be led by a western heritage Pope. Roman Catholicism is the last bastion of western Catholic philosophical spirituality, the original Christian religion. If it gets watered down into some PC diluted mess, that would be the biggest sin. It has already been battered by allowing homosexuals to infiltrate its ranks in the name of PC, and look where that has led to. I want nothing of PC to affect the Catholic Church any more than it already has. I want no more Father Pfleger in Chicago types. I want a conservative western Pope who shares our heritage. I guess you will vote for Hillary for Prez next time around, as we must have a first woman, now that we’ve had a first black Prez. Bah humbug.
Frankly I don’t know why I’m the one here defending the Cardinal voting process. But let’s look at the facts.
#1 Catholic means universal, but your universe only includes Western Civilization.
#2 I’ve told you I don’t believe in AA and you repeated it back to me but then add I’d probably vote for Hilary so we’d have a woman president. You must have a logic repellant or a lack of comprehension that needs looked into.
#3 I don’t have a vote on the next Pope and neither do you. There’s probably a good reason for that.
#4 Your use of “my kind” betrays your bigotry. If they are Catholic, baptized and accepted by the Church officials then you should accept that person as “your kind” regardless of race or origin. Jesus does. Or do you presume to know better than Him or the Cardinals?
