Probably, but you can bet it won't be this Black Cardinal - Sarah.

Vatican officials are anxious to get their hands on an advance copy of The Next Pope, a survey of 19 leading contenders to succeed Pope Francis scheduled for publication next month. The author, Edward Pentin, discusses these papable cardinals in today's episode of Holy Smoke.
The full list is still under wraps, but inevitably we talk about Cardinal Robert Sarah, the African-born apocalyptic visionary whom liberals most fear. (If you doubt that, read this despicable and semi-literate hatchet job on Sarah by Christopher Lamb in The Tablet.) Equally inevitably, we talk about the charismatic and ambitious Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, formerly Archbishop of Manila and now one of Francis's main allies in the Vatican.
But the candidate I was most anxious to ask Edward about is Cardinal Pietro Parolin, who as Secretary of State negotiated the secret and sinister pact with China, staged a coup d'état against the Order of Malta and now faces urgent questions about corrupt property deals.
How could such a man possibly be acceptable to the college of cardinals? He's even spoken of as the front-runner. Has the Catholic Church – now on the brink of financial catastrophe – simply thrown away its moral compass?
It's a lively episode. Don't miss it.
Ping
the next Pope will have to be Black
btw, are there any good Black candidates that are not as left as Pope Che
It would be a blessing if he’s Cardinal Sarah.
Probably, but you can bet it won't be this Black Cardinal - Sarah.
Won’t be any “next pope”. At least not a valid one.
... and female? It seems trendy.
Oh, he wrote a book with the Pope who was forced to resign
Yep, no Smoke for him. Must be way too conservative
Cardinal Arinze should have been Pope.
A Black WOMAN!
Father Jack from Father Ted should have been Pope.
A black transgender woman.
Last time around, any of the leading black cardinals (Sarah, Arinze, Napier) would have been better than Bergoglio.
No, it wasn’t thrown away.
It was misplaced in late 1963.
Several have looked for it in vain, but everyone believes it is going to be found, eventually.
How about a Muslim?
You should read the last Epistle that Paul wrote before his death: 2 Timothy. He writes to Timothy not to tell him of REVIVAL in the Church, but of APOSTACY in the Church. He explains exactly what is going to happen, and IS happening at this very time. 2 Tim. is completely different from 1 Tim. 1 Tim. is about the building up of the Church. 2 Tim. is about what to do in the face of the Church in tatters.
I am less sanguine about the needed reforms and measures being seen through to success: resolving the confusion and repudiating heretical ideas stemming from Vatican II; running off the Church's gay mafia; cleaning up the Vatican's opaque finances and corruption; and, above all, carrying the authentic teachings of Christ to a world that desperately needs them.
And we can always hope and pray for the best in the form of a conservative trifecta: Sarah for Pope, with Burke and Pell to get the Vatican into shape. After a few years, Francis will be only an unhappy memory.
Black female And homosexual of course too. Crippled also. Why not go for broke with all this racist discriminatory bull krap
