Far as far back as I came remember, every pope has been a old, white and um did I mention old. According to BlackVoices, we might have a chance to get a brother in there, well an African brother....
Cardinal Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson of Ghana is playing an important part in a three-week meeting at the Vatican on the role of the Catholic Church in Africa.
At a news conference Monday, Turkson was asked whether he thought the time was right for a black pope, particularly following the election of President Barack Obama.
Turkson replied: "Why not?" He argued that every man who agrees to be ordained a priest has to be willing to be a pope.
He noted that, with Obama and the previous U.N. secretary-general, Kofi Annan, there have been several blacks in positions of global leadership.
He said "If God would wish to see a black man also as pope, thanks be to God."
