    I kind of want the next one to be a traditional African Roman Catholic partly to mix it up a bit, and partly because it fucks with racists.

      Also kind of fucks with progressives, though. Lots of people would accuse them of racism when progressive christians critize a conservative black pope.

          The frontrunning black cardinal is ultra orthodox who wishes to revert Francis’ decision on gays and abortion. It is entirely possible to be hated on by whites and liberal people.

        Why would progressives accuse them of racism though

        I’m dumb, completely misread the comment

          e.g. because they actually agree with conservative catholic policies. It’s not necessarily clear to outsiders whether those accusations have any merit.
