I'm pulling for Arinze! Me too! Can't wait to see the Libs slam a Black African Pope. Maybe they'll try and make him a Clarence Thomas.

I'm hoping its one of the following 3: Arinze, Ivan Dias or Ratzinger -- all are conservative and all are multi-lingual (Ivan Dias speaks 16 languages!)

For nearly 20 years Arinze was the Vatican's point man for relations with Islam, which may play in his favor, as cardinals may take that into consideration. In addition, he has traveled a great deal around the world and is thus well known. Last year at a Vatican function Arinze delivered a harsh broadside against pro-choice politicians (my kind of man!).
Going against him is the fact that he may not be sufficiently "connected" with inside-the-Curia politics.

I'm also hoping for Arinze.
