Pope Francis’ anti-colonial stance and fierce criticism of imperialism won him many fans in Africa, strengthening the Catholic Church on the continent. Now, with his passing, many are asking if it is time for the first African pope. Some African contenders’ names have been circulating, but it remains unclear how much of a chance they actaully have.

African pope hmmmmm, not now.
The next choice is going to surprise everyone. The church acts in guidance of the Holy Spirit
It would be dramatic turn of event. The west is Turning farr right. Is that mean that people with conservative views will see that change in bad manner. Woke reformation. Lets hope that the next pope will not bring controversy the way as some hypothesis about. Even Mexico bishop might be better option. Regarding conflict with USA thats political manifestation. Gulf of America or Gulf of Mexico ?.
There have been several African Popes in history.
LESS EDUCATED – MORE RELIGIOUS
Africans still upholding European or Arabic religious institutions, are a sign of colonized minds.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
First African Pope would be so AMAZING!!! They are so faithful and conservative!!
Une façon simple et cool d’expliquer la science. Super boulot à chaque fois.
Yes,we have a pope from Africa we need Trunkson
Malaquias intensifies
Pope Pater from Ghana 🇬🇭 🎉
There is already african pope before
It's good that Christianity is finally spreading to Africa. They should send more missionaries there, as long as it is safe to do so. There are many ongoing wars in Africa I think and large parts of it still underdeveloped.
Jesus is the head of the Catholic church DW please read Mathew 28:20.
Whoever is elected as pope represent Jesus who is the head of our holy Catholic church.
DW Please stop politics.
Jesus is the head of our holy Catholic church and he reigns forever.Anyone annointed as pope only administers God's will on earth.But Jesus is the head.
Remember,"touch not my annointed one."
Therefore race doesn't matter to us.
Once their level of education goes up along with their income and they gain access to the internet, this problem will correct itself. Religion is dying in the west, the rest of the world will follow.
Good
An African or Asian pope would be interesting.
🙏🏾♥️🌷🌺🎈It's about time…
Christianity has African roots & not european. It's about time a African is elected the pope.

I propose a class action lawsuit against Youtube. $100 to every Youtube user for every comment they hide
If we believe that all have sinned and come short of the glory of God, we must remember that Jesus is no respecter of persons. Seek ye the Lord Jesus Christ now, stop following traditions of men. The big question facing each and every one of us is; are you saved? I did not ask if you are Catholic or knew the pope? Are you saved? Are your sins washed by the blood of Jesus? Are you reading/studying the Bible for yourself that ye may not be deceived by anyone? God has not given us religion but His Son Jesus Christ Who supposed to hold the utmost place in our lives. Are you saved?
African or Asian pope will be good. Catholic population has shifted to Latin America, Africa and Asia.
I guess still they would choose the European as Pope is also a head of state for Vatican
It doesn’t matter, as a catholic African all we need is a great Pope just like Pope Francis
In Canada we would love to see Cardinal Peter elected.
God's standard of selecting His servants is not based on color, nationalist, race, or ethnic. GOD THE HOLY GHOST SEES THE HEARTS!!!!
Job22:34
There is no deep shadow, no utter darkness, where evildoers can hide.
Modern slavery.
How else do you remain indebted to a country thousands of kms away.
TD Jakes would be a real pop
Afrixans rooting for who? We dont care, and we're not rooting for anyone in particular. We want a better world, and that is all.
What do u mean when u say how much of a chance they have? Do you mean the church is racist?
No offense but wtf does the Pope do to improve the quality of life for those who believe ? Having a Pope from Africa will do what exactly ? I’m genuinely curious what a religious leader can do besides pray and “bless” people ? Do they go in the field and actively make changes or they’re just held in high regards?
This would be horrible for Africa smh
The catholic church does not need wokeism
