Obama Mania hits the Catholic church

The election of Barack Obama as the first African-American US President could pave the way for the election of the first black Pope, according to a leading black American Catholic.

Wilton Daniel Gregory, 60, the Archbishop of Atlanta, said that in the past Pope Benedict XVI had himself suggested that the election of a black pontiff would "send a splendid signal to the world" about the universal Church.

No surprise there. The population center of the church, as with many others, has moved south to Africa and South America. I remember some were surprised that they didn't pick someone from there this last time.

That could have already happened. I voted for Oswill Williams a few years back. Unfortunately it didn't work out.

It is more than a little bit likely; are you aware that only about 20% of COGOP's total membership is in the U.S., and that we are --BY FAR-- a brown and black church predominantly?

There are more COGOP members in a single African nation than in all the U.S.
