Thanks to you all too. Very interesting, but Pittsburgh, your St. Victor I looks a wee bit modern to me. The Pope in the hood?

Not sure, but as hubby said: nobody's got bling like the Pope's got bling!

That church off to the side looks awfully 20th-century to me, and I'm not sure what the symbolism of the full moon is supposed to be. ("Moonies! We want you back!"?)

If Arinze is chosen, he might use a name of an earlier African pope, or the name of an important African saint who wasn't pope, like Augustinus, Athanasius, or Cyprianus (bishop of Carthage, martyred in 258). Cyrillus is another name with African associations--St. Cyril of Alexandria was a major figure in the fifth century (and "pope" in the sense of Patriarch of Alexandria, since that title is given to the current Coptic patriarch).

Looks like a black county commissioner here in Dallas, John Wiley Price.
