RELIGION:
A Latin American Pope?
In Latin
America and the Caribbean,
Catholics are praying, and in
many cases weeping, for the
health of Pope John Paul II,
amidst a flurry of speculation
about which bishops from this
region have a chance to succeed
him if he dies.
At least seven names are being
bandied about.
In the College of Cardinals,
there are 22 Latin Americans out
of a total of 120 electors (who
will choose the new pontiff) --
the largest regional grouping
after Europe's 59.
Around half of the world's 1.071
million Roman Catholics live in
Latin America and the Caribbean.
"When the Pope's health flags,
in the corridors of power in the
Latin American church there are
tension, whispering and hidden
hopes of succeeding him. We have
seen this for several years,"
the president of the Latin
American Association for the
Study of Religion, Elio
Masferrer, told IPS. more
