"HOPEFULLY, the NEW Pope will come from Africa or Latin America!!!!"

JPII was chosen from Poland and now the Wall has fallen. Maybe the next Pope should be (a non-PRC-affiliated) Catholic Chinese?

I wouldn't mind that idea, or the Cardinal from Havana, but are they really papable (would the college of cardinals consider any one of them). It wouldn't be bad advice for them to follow though. They wouldn't even have to choose a Cardinal. Angelo Roncalli (who became John XXIII), was just a monsignor (granted had a Vatican posting and was very influential but was just over a regular priest in terms of position) when the conclave began following the death of Pius XXII.
