| Anonymous Coward User ID: 34137214  Germany02/11/2013 09:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One Of These Men Will Be The Next Pope Quoting: Luisport 1/16 Cardinal Marc Ouellet Getty Country: Canada Position: Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops, formerly Archbishop of Quebec. Age: 68 Likelihood: Paddy Power ranks him 5/2. Most qualified. He speaks English, French, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and German fluently. He has done missionary work in South America. Last year we said that our money was on Ouellet. His rank among the betters has shot up dramatically. What His Election Would Mean: It's a global Church now. His work in helping to vet and select bishops would give him the ability as pope to dramatically shape the Church for a generation or more. Reasons He'll Get Elected: Most qualified. He speaks English, French, Portuguese, Italian, Spanish and German fluently. He has done missionary work in South America. Reasons He Might Not Get Elected: He might decline. (You can decline your election) He has given every indication that papacy is a "crushing responsibility" that he would hesitate to take. Then again, that is exactly what makes him an attractive candidate. Read more: [link to www.businessinsider.com] Talking about qualifications: The Cardinals all speak at least 4 to 5 current languages fluently, plus Hebrew, Latin Greek. They all were University teachers and most have more than 2 Ph.D.s In addition to theology, they all have studied further subjects, like mathematics, chemistry, physics, philosophy, etc.. Hard to find this amassment of knowledge /education outside the RCC. |

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 34151060 United States02/11/2013 10:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My guess==================== Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson Country: Ghana Position: President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace Age: 64 Likelihood: High odds according to Paddy Power: 4/1, which seems way high to us even though he is a very strong candidate. What His Election Would Mean: That the Cardinals recognize the future isn't in Benedict's Europe but in the explosive growth of the Church in the "global South" Reasons He'll Get Elected: He is a superstar in the College of Cardinals, a great communicator, and symbol of the global reach of the Church. Reasons He Might Not Get Elected: The Catholic Church in Africa can be very disconnected from the Church that the majority of the European Cardinals live in. In Africa the top issues aren't sexual politics and theological disputes, they are exorcism, animism, the growth of Islam, and condemnation of Western economic policy. |

I can tell you emphatically most Catholics, at least in North America, Europe, even South America, are not controlled by the Pope or Vatican. Most are only nominally religious. |
