    Could we have the first black Pope?

    Seems like he's the favorite for all you capping the next Pope.

    Africans are far more religious then most western religious people.
    We need a pope thats more liberal and accepts condoms and gay.
    This dude however says you can only use a condom when you are married because that's were AIDS come from.
    According to him you can't use a condom and penetrate around but only use a condom on your wife because there you get AIDS...
    You get it??

    So a religion that says being gay is wrong should now accept it because a new pope, who might be black, says so?

    Wow you're ignorant...
    Especially in Africa where religion has a far bigger impact than Europa for example it is dangerous to say the wrong thing about certain people. They already burn gay people alive...
    I'm not saying the pope should accept it but as in all centuries the religion has to evolve with its timeframe.
    As you may have seen some people in the church (mildly) accept condom use. And saying using condoms is bad as an African to Africans in an continent plagued with HIV/AIDS is catastrophical. And just to let you know Christianity is losing popularity in a lot of countries in Europe because of intrigues with children and because people don't give a crap if your gay or not.

    I have a hard time with Colonel Sanders being white. I think his recipe has to remain secret because it was stolen.

    As far as the Pope goes...GOD is no respecter of persons....it doesn't matter to him what skin pigment we have.

    WOWWWWWW!!!!!

    "We need to find ways of dealing with the challenges coming up from society and culture," he said, adding that the Church needed to "evangelise", or convert, those who had embraced "alternative lifestyles, trends or gender issues".


    thats a quote from the next Pope!!!!

    what do you think of that????? The Catholic Church will be embracing people of "alternative genders"!

    in other words, people who are transgender, agender, neutrois, genderqueer, gender fluid, gender neutral, and many others!

    This "black movement" has really gotten WAY OUT OF HAND. Does anyone (white or black or anyone in between) really want blacks to become the majority race of the U.S. and the world?

    Enough with this black shit already.

    Regarding gay marriage, if gays were allowed to marry across all 50 states, would these gay/lesbian/transgender groups declare victory and disassemble. OF COURSE NOT!!!!

    They would become louder and more obnoxious than ever just as the civil rights groups have done over the past 50 years.

    Dude the next black pope won't be American. If you read the article of the OP it says he is Ghanaian which I doubt you know what it means.

    Thanks for the video, SBRLewis. Hmmm, hard to say ... i believe something like Turkson may happen (after Obama being the first black president, the world really is changing), wouldn't bet on it, though. I'll have to think on this a bit more.

    Cardinal Turkson is a good and decent man.

    Humble in spirit, but also a steady and guiding hand. His father was a carpenter ans his mother sold vegetables in an open stand in Ghana.

    He is also an intellectual genius. He was a professor and earned a licentiate, which is the equivalent of a Phd, at the Pontifical Biblical Institute in Rome.

    If he were to be elected Pope, I would be more than happy to serve him just as I would any other Pope.
