There are some suggestions going around for the next pope. I'd like to
comment a little on that.
Firstly, the next popes mission is decided by:
John Paul II, why ?
Suppose you want your idea being carried through and you have to select the
people who are going to vote.
Just select the persons you know will vote into a certain direction.
So the question changes a bit: What do most Cardinals have in common ?
Secondly, a new pope must hold the existing flock and preferably expand it.
Changes in race or continent of origin will have a shift in this matter.
JPII was a truly daring choice in the first place which turned out good but
still didn't change in race or continent.
Thirdly, the vatican is a political body. This includes power struggles and
the likes. Therefor, someone with enough power and sympathy in the vatican
will be elected pope. (just remember, the roman empire never died, they just
found a better way to grow and hold control)
In my humble opinion and including some analysis I've done before, I still
think Lustiger is the most likely choice.

I hear what your saying - kinda sounds like the Republican Party stacking the US
Congress.
If you know what I mean.

The next pope will be black. Guess Butcher Bush will have to attack
the Vatican soon then too eh?
