    I nominate Cardinal Law. He'll help bring on a "hands on" policy for the priesthood.

    I want to see Cardinal Ignatius Glick become Pope.

    Pope John Paul II is the one who suggested most of the Popes on the big list of over 100 candidates. I just hope that our next Pope will change the churches position on the use of birth control.

    If it's someone from a developing nation (like the guy from Nigeria) I'd almost bet on it. Especially since they have an AIDS epidemic to worry about over there.

    And from what I've read, it probably won't be anyone on that the media is talking about. The Catholics know that high-profile people that want the job probably shouldn't have it.

    I'd bet against it.

    I see Pope John Paul III as being fairly status quo.

    Arinze is as conservative on those matters as JP II was.

    Yeah, apparently the Nigerian dude is pretty close to Ratzinger on those things.

    Just keep your money away from Cliffie Claven though.

    He's got some pretty powerful opponents among the Italian, Portuguese, and Latin American cardinals.

    Re: "Popabile"

    Sheesh, look at these papal names....Linus, Cletus, Sixtus.

    Thank God there aren't any significant cardinals from Arkansas on the watch list. You know they're begging for a Pope Cletus II.

    Pope Sixtus would be pretty cool though.
