@KingOfWhiteAmerica I'm going to sound like a boomer conservative here, but I don't believe his race has anything to do with it. I'm unfamiliar with a lot of names on that list, but I do know Cardinal Sarah. I know of him enough to doubt that he'd seriously be picked for the papacy because of his beliefs. As an Eastern Catholic, the Pope is not someone I pay much attention to. I am functionally Orthodox in communion with Rome, and that doesn't change regardless of who is in Rome. Unless Rome gets too crazy, which actually would cause me to begome xDDD.
