That seems highly unlikely, IMHO. The Pope is chosen by the world's
Cardinals...and the world is not particularly happy with the U.S. or it's
foreign policy right now. Selecting a Pope is a delicate enough process as it
is, trying to balance about a gazillion competing interests to ensure the new
Pontiff is well-received and embraced by Catholics everywhere. Picking an
American would unnecessarily complicate things.

Just my opinion...

I would say that that is impossible.

The next Pope might be an Asian or an African however.

If you're gonna run for Pope, Sam, be sure to get your statement in on
time. Your lack of one in this month's Chess Life is pretty
embarassing, and doesn't speak to any organizational skills you might
bring to the party.

Maybe you better stop running for the Board, if you can't even get your
forms in.

The next Pope has about as much a chance of coming from Israel as from the
U.S.
