I can't remember what his name is, but there is a black cardinal (or bishop?) in the running. But he's in his early 70s, which may pose a longevity problem. Of course, the others in the "running" are in their late 60s, early 70s, as well. So who knows. It would still be interesting to see and wait for the Conclave to end. The new pope will have his work cut out for him though. My parish is already feeling the affects of the lack of Catholic Priests.
