Sorry Deacon John,
Leave it to me to mess up the quote from the program.

Ignace Moussa I (Basile) Cardinal Daoud is now in third place as of April 13, 2005 10:00 PM.
Interesting. What does this mean?

I decided to put my two cents in on the vote for the Pope.
I have noticed that Pope John Paul I died 33 days after being elected. The next choice was between two Italian cardinals, with John Paul II being chosen as a compromise.
Yet, years before that event, Padre Pio knew that he would someday be Pope...and Pope John Paul II's own mother said he would become a great man someday. So she also must have known something.
What I'm coming to, is that it seems our Holy Spirit gives the Church the right man at the right time. What better time was there for a Polish Pope
if one considers what was going on with the Soviet Union.
By the same reasoning, Pope Pius XII was the Papal nuncio to Nazi Germany. No matter what is said of him today by some, had he not known what the world situation was, would the Vatican and the RCC have survived the German occupation? Again it seems the right person at the right time.
So, by this same reasoning, I feel that the pope today must again be knowledgable about the most troublesome area of the world. As far as I can see, it is the Far and Middle East.
Of course I'm not God, so we'll have to wait and see.

I remember back in 1978 when Pope John Paul I died and the media was getting into the speculation business. Whole write ups in the magazines on all the possible candidates for the papacy job.
None of the ones listed got the job.

I don't know why, but the other day, looking through the list, I got a hunch for the Japanese Cardinal.
Whats more, his name is Peter!
That would be interesting wouldn't it?
With the Japanese tendencies for fads, it could mean a boom for Christianity in the land of the rising sun... finally!
