We have a Polish Pope followed by the first German Pope. Actually, he's not the first German to occupy the office.

"I think this homily shows he realizes he's not going to be elected. He's too much of a polarizing figure," McBrien said. "If he were elected, thousands upon thousands of Catholics in Europe and the United States would roll their eyes and retreat to the margins of the church."Eat crow McBrien, you heretical putz.
