A few years back 60 minutes actually had a really interesting program about the Catholic church and supposed "front-runners" (I guess?) for the job. As a convert to Catholicism I found it extremely interesting. At that time they had mentioned the Archbishop of Paris who was a convert from Judaism as a child during WWII, a Cardinal in Africa (where they mentioned that there are Catholics that said they would cease being Catholic if the pope was black..to which several Jesuits said something like "Good, we don't need people like that as Catholics anyhow." and a Cardinal from Italy who speaks like 10 languages. (I think he's rather liberal and is the Bishop of Milan, but I can't remember right now.) They all basically agreed that it would not be a North American though.
Anyhow, just thought I'd ask if anyone else remembers that episode of 60mins.
I'm bummed about JPII and his health, even if one is not Catholic, it's easy to recognize that he has been a good man.
