Survey: Africans ready for African popeBy Sarah Brown, CNN What are your thoughts on who the next Pope could, or should be? Tell us (CNN) - Thousands of Africans have expressed their hopes that the next pope will be the first from their continent - with a majority believing it would mean the Catholic Church becoming more conservative. The survey of 20,000 people, conducted on mobile phones across 11 nations, also exposed big divisions among Africans about the future direction of the church, including faith, homosexuality and race. "An African pope will bring about more unity on the continent and confidence in Africans," said one woman from Zimbabwe, while a young Nigerian man polled said an African pope "will eradicate immoralities, such as same-sex marriage." CNN commissioned the survey, partnering with Jana.com, which has pioneered polling in developing countries with fast-growing mobile networks. FULL STORY

I got so bored in the present day afternoon, however as soon as I watched this YouTube comical clip at this website I turn into fresh and delighted too.

The Pope is elected by the conclave through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
I believe the next Pope will be Chinese.Remember how Communism was dismantled when John Paul II became Pope and thousands converted to Catholicism.New Pope Francis was not a front-runner and yet this Jesuit Priest is now a Pope.
God really works in mysterious ways.
I just bought a top of the range Aston Martin DB5 after bringing in $4865 this past month and over ten grand last-month. It's definitely the most comfortable job I have ever had. I began this eight months ago and straight away was making over $82, per-hour. I use the details on this website, Epic2.C0M__
just click report abuse to get rid of this trash.
Lyrics that resonate for all-time:
"The Two Universal Sects
They all err—Moslems, Jews,
Christians, and Zoroastrians:
Humanity follows two world-wide sects:
One, man intelligent without religion,
The second, religious without intellect. "
Al-Ma'arri
, born AD 973 /, died AD 1058 / .
Al-Ma’arri was a blind Arab philosopher, poet and writer.[1][2] He was a controversial rationalist of his time, attacking the dogmas of religion and rejecting the claim that Islam possessed any monopoly on truth."
"Africans think Africa ready for African pope" isn't really a story...who imagined the results would be otherwise??? The 18% who disagreed might make a story. Or better yet, the opinion of Asian Catholics on the story.
Roman Catholic Church Sex Abuse Cases

An estimated 4 to 5 million U.S. public school students may be at risk or become victims of seexual assault by school employees and teachers. Even so, media outlets and public officials remain tight-lipped, cover-up allegations, and fight disclosure.
Since 2007, over 2,000 separate seexual abuse cases have been filed against U. S. public school employees. This takes into account the relatively small number of cases dismissed outright, dismissed under plea agreement or changed to other charges upon conviction, but does not include the many others that get swept under the rug, covered-up, or never reported at all, according to records kept by the website BadBadTeacher.com.

"An estimated 4 to 5 million U.S. public school students may be at risk"
"estimated"
"may be at risk"
wow, what hard hitting info, billy
cardinal mahony still shipping pedopiles off to unsuspecting parishes?
again, tell us of the moral authority of NAMBLA-Vatican City
"does not include the many others that get swept under the rug, covered-up, or never reported at all"
papal pedophile enabler
You have 4500 KNOWN cases. And the coverup continues unabated.
No answer for those missing records. They claimed they turned over 30,000 pages of evidence. Turns out, they only turned over 18,000 pages, and those were heavily redacted. Are you still buying the company line, Bill ? What's in those missing pages ?

Uh huh. It seems to me if they would have taken this poll in South America, the South Americans would be all for a Pope that came from that continent...same with North America, same with Europe...um, what's the point?
I see you said essentially the same thing I did two hours ago!
Saraswati:
Ah, GMTA!
Actually, I cannot see the previous pages on mobile version; if I could, I would never would have said the same thing. I would just have agreed with you and reiterated: GMTA! Lol
LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL LOL. LOL. LOL. LOL.
An American church lady obese and wearing one of Africa's diamonds... the phrase 'putting an ear ring on a pig' rings true. The pearl is cast to the swine.
It isn't over until the fat lady sings "hep me. i'm being devoured by my own pig"
From the time of our ancestoral tribal leaders selling and trading what was then Africa's greatest natural treasure (the peoples themselves) to Christians in the West and Muslims in the East, Africa has been rayped.
Our peoples starve as peoples who consume Africa are fat.
This will change.
Starve away
88% of you Americans say you are Christians. Believe you me. There is no such thing as a conservative American. (a statistic, on average)
Hey, Answerbubba, aren't you tired yet? Shut up. You've yet to show any citation, therefore the conclusion is that you make up stats as you go along. Go gay coitus someone, idiot.
That 88% figure is wrong by at least 12 percentage points.

Please stop lying to try and make your point. Thank you.
This oil be on Nigerian soil and be drilled for by Nigerian oilmen. Yet, less than one dollar per day make it to Nigerian citizen from oil sales revenues.
Nigeria be a top ten oil exporting nation. Our oil and our oil profits flow westward to a peoples suffering with nationwide obesity and deep deep debt.
This must change.
Again, because your government is too stupid to negotiate on behalf of its citizensn ANSWERMAN/BUBBA.
And it appears its citizens are happy with that arangement, since nothing has EVER been done about it.
You keep the papacy, we keep our oil profits. Deal?
Time for a beat-down from the oil companies, since your government is too stupid to negotiate on behalf of its citizens.
Whoops ... I was wrong. Take back what I said.
I am going crazy !!!!!
Survey of the lay people may say so but a survey of 115 old men says otherwise.
Lol.
Prayer changes things
Whoops ... I was wrong. Take back what I said.
Prayer does not; you are such a LIAR. You have NO proof it changes anything! A great example of prayer proven not to work is the Christians in jail because prayer didn't work and their children died. For example: Susan Grady, who relied on prayer to heal her son. Nine-year-old Aaron Grady died and Susan Grady was arrested.
An article in the Journal of Pediatrics examined the deaths of 172 children from families who relied upon faith healing from 1975 to 1995. They concluded that four out of five ill children, who died under the care of faith healers or being left to prayer only, would most likely have survived if they had received medical care.
The statistical studies from the nineteenth century and the three CCU studies on prayer are quite consistent with the fact that humanity is wasting a huge amount of time on a procedure that simply doesn’t work. Nonetheless, faith in prayer is so pervasive and deeply rooted, you can be sure believers will continue to devise future studies in a desperate effort to confirm their beliefs!
"Atheism is not healthy for children and other living things"
That's why the data, has shown that atheists have happier and healthier lives than conservative Christians. Your post is built on a lie!
End Religion
I do not have book of hindu Mithra ism ,pagan savior ism called Christianity handy, but hindu liar Paul, in first letter he hind brag, he was in Jerusalem with disciples and in second letter he writes to other group of people, and swears on name of GOD, he never was with disciples or in Jerusalem. Reason some of Christians do not recognize him as person of any importance.
YOU JUST HAVE TO IMAGINE A ONE EYED MUHAMMAD BACK THEN, WHEN YOU READ A POST OF HIS FOLLOWERS LIKE THIS ISLAMIC FART AFTER 1400 YEARS.
To hind lie is way of a hindu secular, filthy kenjer, Why? because hinduism denial of truth is based on hindu secular ism filthy kenjer ism, faith of hindu secular s, kenjers.
