A black pope? There is only one offical pope. He is white. He is also stupid. I don't see what you mean. Black people being a pope I don't buy it

Yeah I was saying a pope must DIE. It could take years for that to happen. BTW there is a lot of candidates for the pope. He won't be the pope

Jesuits do not follow "a black pope". The is only one pope and the faithful follow him. BTW most parish priets are Jesuits.

As for a black pope in regards to race. I think that this is a very likely thing to happen within the next century. Catholisism is having a hard time in the developed world. It's credibility in the West is waning and to survive it needs to target a new audience. It's hardcore followers are thriving in the underdeveloped world where the Church's dogma is still not understood, talked about or questioned. The Church relies on the Third World for it's bread and butter power base. What better way to shore up this base than by appointing a black pope?

Well, I don't know where you live, but that is certainly not true in metropolitan Detroit. There are few, if any, Jesuits nearby. I wonder if I've ever even met one!
