Lol.. great story but a sad one!

"I was thinking about the possibility of an African pope this morning - slim and none."
Well, on the surface it seems so, but there's a core group of Cardinals who deeply resented Pope Francis' efforts to drag the Vatican into the 21st century and to make the church a more enlightened institution. I have no doubt in my mind those traditionalists would see the usefulness of a Black/African Pope reversing all the progressive gains Francis instituted during his reign. An African-MAGA Pope would be a godsend for these reactionary cardinals.

I get your point though, it would be jarring for many Catholics to suddenly have a Black Pope as head of the church
