A work colleague who is Catholic said there was a prophecy or something that JPII would be the 2nd last before the time of reckoning, so I am hoping the new one is a very young one.

I think Prince Charles should be the new Pope because the Pope's hat will fit over his ears much better than a crown - which will sit on top of them and make them stick out even more.

According to The Washington Post on Tuesday, gamblers can back Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi of Italy at odds of 11 to 4. "Or they can take their chances on Father Dougal Maguire of Craggy Island, Ireland, a long shot at 1,000 to 1."

Apparently a lot of people are pushing for this Nigerian cardinal - they think having a black pope will bring the Catholic Church into the 21st Century. Ironically there was a previous black pope in 496! Worrying really that the world was in some ways more advanced 1500 years ago...

Yes, it is worrying - because I think i heard somewhere that over 60% of the world's catholics are black.
