I'm sure a google search might yield some examples to fit your claim but in all honesty the only two African clergy I could tell you anything about off the top of my head, Desmond Tutu and Pius Ncube, are very progressive.

They may well be but neither of those two have been mentioned as being the next possible pope. All I'm saying is that if we had a Venn diagram the intersection of "black" "realistic chance of becoming pope" and "progressive" is small to non existent

I really hope the next pope is black.

The cardinals have been saying they're not going to elect the Nigerian cardinal just because he is black.

 

[soloooooo]

Lol'ing at all the people who are concurrently saying that the next pope should be black/Latino but should also be progressive. Because you know, the African Catholics are really known for their tolerance of gays, women and condoms.

You know the pope is catholic, right. Some of those issues are directly opposite to Christian values (debate on the rights/wrongs of that is a matter for another thread).

Ummm, yes I am well aware. I'm not the one calling for a progressive pope, I was referring to the people that were.

In fact as a non-catholic I actually don't think I have much grounds to complain about who is or isn't pope.

Fair enough. Who is pope doesn't worry me either.

Catholicism is based around a belief of what your conscience says and the church leaders and the bible.

So like, believe what you want. ^_^

They just expect the conscience to change based on church teachings.

Correction.
Catholicism is based on shit.

Pope Tyrone

Shit Tyrone, get it together

But seriously, it's funny how they're looking for a new pope outside of Europe because the religion is diminishing in the area.

Well played Europe

Tutu isn't eligible as he isn't Roman Catholic but Anglican.

Piu Ncube has probably ruled himself out due to his resignation over allegations of adultery.
