ONE OF THESE MEN WILL BE THE NEXT POPE!!!

This is something that has caused great concern...Read the ancient texts...This is the history humanity does not want...The Pope stepps down...Why?...What has brought him to this point?...The door is open now...Watch whom may enter...The world is chainging...

You got it wrong,boss. 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.

Glad you started a thread- all the other ones just turn into Catholic bashing with little actual facts.
This news seems extra doomy to me!!!

One Of These Men Will Be The Next Pope


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.

Cardinal Tarsicio Bertone
Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone

AP

Country: Italy

Position: Secretary of State

Age: 78

Likelihood: Paddy Power ranks him 12/1, which seems about right.

What His Election Would Mean: That the most skilled Vatican politician wanted to become pope before he died.

Reasons He'll Get Elected: He is the man most responsible for appointing a large bloc of Italian elector-Cardinals, and he knows where every body is buried.

Reasons He Might Not Get Elected: Anger and embarrassment of non-Italian Cardinals who view him as a potential scandal in the making.

Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson

I believe it will be him because a black Pope is prophised to be the last Pope.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan
Country: United States of America

Position: Archbishop of New York

Age: 63

Likelihood: Paddy Power ranks him 25/1 to be the next pope.

What His Election Would Mean: He'd have one of the fastest Church careers in recent memory. From Milwaukee to St. Peter's in almost no time at all.

Reasons He'll Get Elected: He is perceived as one of the best and most gregarious communicators in the College of Cardinals.

Reasons He Might Not Get Elected: His youth has the potential for a long papacy, along the lines of John Paul II. Also, he would be an American in a very Italian Vatican. That's not seen as a good mix.
