| #20 The Paddy-Power Betting house has the Nigerian as a narrow favorite... I hope that the cardinals do the right thing and select someone based on credentials/ability/principles, rather than color, or a desire to try something "different". |

| #19 The next Pope will be... a Catholic. Period. |

| #16 Thought for the day: it doesn't matter whether the new pope is "liberal" or "conservative" in stated beliefs, as long as the implementation of their beliefs involves helping Bernie Law evade justice. |

| #12 Tettamanzi's roumored to be quick in the rain, but I'm going for a long shot, Ortega-Alamino good blood lines and a blend of South-American/African opportunity. By a noose. 7 ballots. |

| #11 Whatever you need from me, just let me know. Conservative, liberal, whatever. Ready and willing to serve. Call me... |

| #9 My money is on any who'd be the Anti-American pope. Now that the hierarchy has seen more influence in world affairs since the Treaty of Westphalia, by playing a big role in taking down the old Soviet system, that taste of power will lead them to a position to take down the remaining world power. Maybe the bit about Fatima that this was the second to last pope, may come true. |

| #8 New pope will be conservative in all ways. On questions of theology, it's a given. On social issues, probably the same. The dispute over liberation theology was fought and lost almost 20 years ago. I was wondering cardinal Ratzinger, but now don't think so. First, he's german not italian. Second he served, although briefly, in the Wehrmacht. Third as perfect of the Congregation for the Doctine of the Faith, he already pretty much runs things. Next pope will be italian, and of the curia. |
