    yup i know... it's my own opinion to some people tingali but some would really think like that... or probably they would just keep it to themselves. This is just lame presumption.

    But the truth is God has no favoritism. That's one of the ultimate truth.

    It would be great also that there's gonna be a Pinoy Pope but I have this feeling that there's a slim chance for that. Don't ask me why.

    Default ... Selecting a POPE

    "Throughout the church, there has been a growing view since September 2001 that relations with the Muslim world will be a primary challenge for the next pope. It is felt that John Paul, with intuition and energy, pushed Christian-Muslim dialogue to its limits: in Morocco, in Damascus, and in Kazakhstan, he stressed the church’s determination to avoid any “clash of civilisations” between the two faiths. Now there may be a need to focus on protecting Christians in places where they are vulnerable to Muslim rage. While John Paul’s papacy, in its early years, sometimes rode in tandem with American policy, Vatican diplomacy in recent years distanced itself from the United States—in order to discourage anti-western Muslims from thinking they should also be anti-Christian.

    But there is no candidate for the papacy who personifies the solution to all Christian-Muslim problems. Just as a third-world pope might not be a social or economic radical, a pope with experience of Islam will certainly not be a “soft touch” in dealings with the Muslim world.

    Having said that, the elevation of Nigeria’s Cardinal Francis Arinze would send a signal of the priority that the Vatican accords to handling Islam. He comes from a nation with roughly equal Christian and Muslim populations and, until 2002, he ran the department in charge of inter-faith dialogue.

    Another candidate who might come into consideration if Islam were seen as the main concern is Ivan Dias, archbishop of Bombay: he has served as a Vatican diplomat both in Indonesia and Madagascar. But important as the dialogue with Islam is, there is a growing feeling that it is such a complex topic that it may need further consideration before it is put centre-stage.

    So cardinals may decide instead to focus on reversing the “silent apostasy” of Catholics in the wealthy world—the invisible drift that has swept millions of baptised Catholics away from the regular practice of their faith. There is thus a plausible case for selecting a relatively liberal pope who understands the West. A pontiff from the United States is almost certainly out of the question because it would identify the church with the sole superpower. On the other hand, a Canadian might be possible.

    Post-colonial susceptibilities make a British, French or Spanish pontiff unlikely, even if a Catalan might pass. Divisions within the German and Dutch churches are so deep and painful that choosing a pope from any of those countries could be fraught. That leaves the smaller European nations, notably Belgium, whose Cardinal Godfried Danneels remains a possibility, despite a record of ill-health. And it is by no means impossible that the College of Cardinals will once again opt for an Italian."
