Turkson was the bookies' fave when Bergoglio was chosen. You'd like to say he's too old - but Pope is one position that suffers geezers even more than the POTUS.
Also watch out for the former archbishop of Manilla.
Among others there is also a Hungarian who is Orban-friendly in the running.
Catholics would be LUCKY to get an African Pope! The Africans were formed by the Holy Ghost Fathers (Archbishop Marcel Lefebve)! They KNOW the Faith backwards & forwards, Inside & Out! They are very reverent, and Pro Traditional Latin Mass! I Pray FOR an African Pope!

Should do wonders for further turd world recruitment. But keeping whites in the fold? Probably not so much.
I noticed there is an even older African from Guinea also in the running.
Glad I'm not a Catholic. But then at this stage I'm not much the Protestant either...
