On Feb. 10, the world was shocked to hear that Pope Benedict would step down from his Papal office on Feb. 28, and become the first leader of the Catholic church to resign from office in over 500 years. However, speculation for his replacement is already under way, and the front runner to become the next Pope has strong ties to the creation of a global economic system, as well as being a prime candidate to an ancient Catholic prophecy suggesting he would help lead the world into a new order.
“The front runner to be the next pope is this man, Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson.
Cardinal Turkson has said that "if God would wish to see a black man also as pope, thanks be to God". The Catholic Church chronicler Rocco Palmo called Turkson the lone Scripture scholar in the Pope's "Senate" and believes that his status as a potential "papabile " has been elevated due to his appointment as spokesman for Second Synod for Africa in 2009.

Moreover, the fact that his paternal uncle is a Muslim troubles me. It just does.
A socialist afro White House occupant with familial muslim ties for America... a socialist afro Pope with muslim ties to lead the Catholic Church. Golly, whatever could go wrong?
There IS NO top candidate to be the next Pope.
There have been "black popes" before. I'm not worried.
Some take any excuse to attack the Church of God.
The media will be intensely disappointed when the next pope is... horrors - a believing Catholic.
Fear not.
Holy Spirit gets the last laugh.
Every time.
I have learned to try to laugh along with Him.

We might forget Him but He won’t forget us. Thank You, God!
In the prophecy, he gives all the churches power over to the Antichrist. He will see as, and call, the Antichrist God. He will even publicly deny Christ. He will be far, far, far to the left. This leads to the destruction of the Catholic church, and eventually to the destruction of the world as we know it (Armageddon - Israel defending itself from the armies of evil).
The last pope will complete the evil trilogy. The Antichrist, some kind of prophet, and the apostate church.
It's like we're witnessing prophecy right before our eyes. The Antichrist, (who Pope John Paul said was alive and well years ago, and waiting in the wings), will enter onto the political stage as a man of peace, but will greatly strengthen the enemies of Israel. We're witnessing that right now.
The Antichrist will want everyone to share, and be he rich or poor, free or bond, will not be able to exceed his fair share because of a "mark" located inside a hard tissue area (like the back of the hand or the forehead. That way the computer chip - called Digital Angel (ironic) - will not get lost in the soft tissue).
The Antichrist will be a man who sins and advocates sin, and will be a man of perdition. He will lead an army consisting of every unclean bird of the earth - people with every kind of moral rot one can think of.
The Antichrist will hide his true self for the first 3.5 years, but his second 3.5 years he will expose who he really is.
Turkson is the media anointed Pope.
But it ain’t going to happen.
Here is the next Pope if the Cardinals want some sort of continuity with Benedict’s principles (which I think they do):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angelo_Scola
Angelo Scola (born 7 November 1941) is an Italian Cardinal of the Catholic Church, philosopher and theologian. He was appointed Archbishop of Milan by Pope Benedict XVI on 28 June 2011. He had previously served as Patriarch of Venice since 2002. He was elevated to the cardinalate in 2003.
After the death of Pope John Paul II in 2005, Scola was considered to be among the papabili in the 2005 papal conclave.
Many Bishops supported him vigorously in 2005 to succeed John Paul II because they saw him as the only man who might reverse what Vatican insiders see as the decay of European culture.
The conclave of course, elected Joseph Ratzinger as Pope Benedict XVI.
I see no reason why the Cardinals would not want some sort of continuity. Scola is the CLOSEST to this.
Ratzimger as well was touted as a top contender by the leftist media of the world NOT.
The next one is to be picked when? From what I understand, in two weeks they'll need the next one?
Sorry, I'm not Catholic, so I don't know how long this takes. I just wait for the smoke thing.
Please do your research. There have already been three black men elevated to the office of Pope.
I discussed this with my best friends gorgeous Polish wife...he’s Catholic too...I’m Southern Baptist but not chauvanistic about denominations (like some folks here)
that is exactly what she said...a black Pope could be a sign of end times
in any event he will likely be a Tutu liberal
after two stellar Popes...all in the name of cater to minorities*
course that is the only place Catholicism is growing..third world browns and blacks
“However, I do believe 100% in scripture.”
The Roman Catholic Church creates its own scripture. The Bible is just something they read a sentence or two from during their idol worship (aka mass) to confuse their believers into thinking it’s Christianity.
> The Antichrist will hide his true self for the first 3.5 years, but his second 3.5 years he will expose who he really is.
Well now we know who the AntiChrist is. Anyone got any bolt cutters to nip those horns off his head when they pop out?
Wonder how Michelle feels knowing that she’s sleeping with the Beast. Probably doesn’t have a clue.
I am sure our Free Trader Communist Globalists will have some positive spin on this.
Think having a black pope and a black president will shut up the left’s cries of racism?
The Muslim part is VERY troubling to me..........
“Just a cardinal.”
Reminds me of a Priest-Rabbi joke.
They’re discussing vocations. The priest says that if a man is lucky enough to be called, he can become a priest.
“So?” says the Rabbil
If he’s diligent and works hard, he can rise to Monsignor.
“So?” again, from the Rabbi.
If he’s recognized widely in the community as a leader, he can become a Bishop.
“So?”
Talent, perseverance, integrity, leadership and theological purity can lead to being a Cardinal.
“So?”
And, if he’s that one among many, for all the above reasons, he can be Pope.
Again, “so?”
Exasperated, the Priest says, “Well, what do you want him to be, Jesus Christ Himself?”
Says the Rabbi, “Well, one of our boys made it, didn’t he?”
Not true.
