Maybes you're taking the black to literally, they may not mean black as a skin colour but in a more euphemistic way. Lets face it, they aren't exactly whiter than white & holier than thou some of these priests according to some of the hearsay.

How will they do the tests?

It just so happens that the betting favourite is Ghanian Cardinal Peter Turkson

The 10 Men Who Would Be Pope

There is one thing wrong with the list , Margaret . It does not include the man who will be the next pope .

The next pope will be Cardinal Tagle , the Archbishop of Manila . He will be the first pope to take the name Joseph , and so we will have Pope Joseph I in about a month's time .

The BBC's list of ten frontrunners includes Cardinal Tagle but is slightly different in other respects from Margaret's list.

That's one I had to look up. Interesting.

Would it be indelicate to ask how....... Yes of course it would, forget I ever mentioned it.

Isn't Joseph a Jewish name, so not suitable for a Pope?

A jewish Joseph wasn't good enough to be Jesus's dad either

PS Pope Gabriel, anybody?

How do we know he would be Joseph? Has he said so?

The present pope was Joseph Ratzinger before he became Benedict. And isn't there a St Joseph's catholic church in Accy?
