The main question is will someone from the 3rd world become Pope which would be a first. Or a European or Italian?

I like his beard. He should be picked Pope.

This guy ... don't know why but this guy should be pope.

I would hope it's NOT another European. The Pope will not be American (the Papacy tends not to go to a candidate from the superpower of the time -- whether that be the Holy Roman Empire or the USA). I would hope the Pope is African or Indian.

I noticed too that there were a lot of "3rd Worlders" on the list. I guess there are a lot of people who want to "feel good" about themselves.

A "3rd Worlder" will do for the Catholic Church what Kofi Annan did for the UN.

Why is no Irishman being considered for Pope?
