I don't understand why the AP would poll non-Catholics on what type of leadership the next Pope should bring to the Church. Most non-Catholics have absolutely no idea what the specific practices, customs, and teachings of the Catholic Chuch are. If they are not Catholic, then why do they care, unless the folks being polled are a bunch of whiny liberals who feel that the Church should bastardize itself to conform to their lack of morality?

I guess the AP couldn't find 1.1 billion Catholics.

I agree that non Catholics opinons are irrelevant. But it seem that many on this thread think actual Catholics opinons are unimportant.
I'm not talking about running the church as a democracy, I'm simply pointing out that opinions should be known. (I wouldn't put any faith in a AP poll of them though)

Non-Catholics should butt out -- including me :}.
