Pure speculation is all anyone has at this point. The most likely is a Cardinal we have never heard of before, an Italian of almost 80 years of age. The Curia wants a rest, the travel and controversy has beaten them up badly.

Hey, that sounds like the man I picked. Cardinal Carlo MArtini. He was born in Turin on February 15, 1927. That makes him Italian. Born in 1927, making him 78 years old.

Cardinal Carlo Martini.

The St. Malachy Prophecies speculate that the next Pope will be the "Pope of the Olive."

Your speculation is right on target!!!

Another old Italian? I think that that would undermine the sense of momentum that JPII worked so hard at building during his lifetime. Actually, visions of another aging Paul VI are kind of a downer. And, given medical technology, this pope may live past 100 years of age!
