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.

“Why, thank you! I always appreciate it when somebody credits the Catholic Church for the development of the Canon of Scripture.”
Yes. And then they told their followers not to read the bible lest they misinterpret it, because after all... the gift of understanding is only given to the priests.
At least they have changed their minds... probably because so few Catholics read it anyways.
I'm going outside to start constructing a raised bed for my chard. Bye, and have a nice day.
Can't you guess? Here's a hint: he has already lived. He lived ~1,400 years ago. He has misled more than a billion people to date. He lived in what is now known as the mideast, spending a lot of time in the present day saudi arabia.
yeah, right....she has been breathing for over 2,000 years and does not need CPR now!!!!
The Catholic church is the bride of Christ, Christ is very much alive therefore the church is not a widow.
When the great ruler (the Great Monarch who is to rule Europe after the collapse of Communism) exterminates the Turks almost entirely, one of the remaining Mohammadans will be converted, become a priest bishop and cardinal, and when the new pope is elected (immediately before Antichrist) this cardinal will kill the pope before he is crowned, through jealousy, wishing to be pope himself; then when the other cardinals elect the next pope,
(Note by Richard Salbato - this will be the last pope on earth - Peter the Second)
this cardinal will proclaim himself Anti-pope, and two-thirds of the Christians will go with him. He, as well as Anti-christ, are descendants of the tribe of Dan.

I didn’t know that there have had been three Negro Popes, do you have a link? Why is that not widely known?
African Popes, not “Negro”. All were from North Africa, back when North Africa was both Catholic and Roman, before the Muslim conquest. Not sure what their exact ethnicity would have been ... Berber? Carthaginian? [Transplanted] Italian?
That doesn't appear to be accurate.
not true...the promises made directly to Isreal belong exclusively to them...However promises made to them concerning the coming new covenant belong to them and to Christianity
If a deadlock happens during the conclave, don’t be surprised if the Cardinals compromise and do what they did in 2005. Elect another 78-year-old. Secretary of State Tarcisio Cardinal Bertone. He was a close friend of John Paul and remains a close friend of Benedict who moved him up to Secretary of State. He’s a compromise candidate if 50% plus 1 aren’t ready to elect Turkson and end up thinking of another short term papacy. I believe the St. Malachy prophecy and think the final Pope will be called Peter the Roman because his papacy will be like Peter’s during the time of early persecution in Rome. But maybe the next Pope will have been born in Rome. Bertone was born in Romano Canavese, Turin. It will be interesting to see if the next Pope takes the name Pope Peter II.
“Thou art Peter, and upon this Rock I will build my Church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against Thee.
