[A. Pole]

In early sixties (when I was a child in Poland) the prophecy was circulating (in form of a circular letter) among neighbours and all around the country. It stuck im memory because it was unusual.

"There will be two popes before the end of the world - the first will be Polish the next and the last will be Negro [black]."

That is very interesting. Have you seen any of this St. Malchy stuff on the threads the past few days? I think there are supposed to be two more now, but then some where saying the last "pope" would really be the anti-christ, but then others were disputing that.

How freaked out will you be if it's a black guy chosen?

I hope they don't pick an Italian, to me that would be boring. And, hey, let me say, I LOVE Italians!

wow, that's interesting. what was the reaction then when the Pole was chosen in 1978?

That't interesting.
