If Pope benedict is using his age as an excuse then Pope Appiah Tuckson will be the best option since he is younger than most of them.64 is good to handle the position of a Pope.
I pray for you Amen.
YES YOU CAN... GO TURKSON GO!!
Servants of God do not retire, they continue serving him until the end.
HAHAHAHAHAAA, I SMELL PALM SOUP, PEANUT SOUP, PEPPER SOUP AND COCOYAM FUFU IN THE VATICAN CITY ALREADY, HUH!

Your entire family looks so much like orangutan that when you went to the zoo, they refused to let you out & lock you in a cage.
A time will come when the Blackman will rule the world. Jah Lives.Those who look mean upon the colour of our skin shall suffer the wrath of God.Amen
OMG YOU SOUND LIKE YOU BRAIN IS UP SOMEWHERE IN YOUR ANUS.

You are ignorant of what you are saying. You have no idea how filthy these white people you consider 'superior' are. May the Lord forgive you for calling Africans 'Apes'.
How ignorant. If they did your DNA it would show on your mothers side, you came out of Africa. As a white American I would be proud for Ghana to have a Pope. It would elevate your country in the Worlds eyes. Ignore the asshol ...

Africans are apes and your mother is a bigger ape.

If Africans are apes, then God did not create any humans. He might have created apes in different shapes and colour.
Only a fool would talk like that.

I live to see if these prejudicial people will give this to a well deserving person with the wrong skin colour(in their view).
God help us all.
This sort of false and hopeless speculations must stop.
Wow Pope from Ghana.Let it be Lord.
Amen
What is the purpose of this article? Is it to announce the resignation of the Holy Father, or to make some conjectures about the next Pope. In any case the heading is misleading.
Please, I see nothing wrong with the heading. There is a differnce between a question and a statement. The heading is a question. Thanks.
Mathew 23:9 specifically stated, called no man on earth father, and so why do catholic refers to the pope holy father?
I at times, ask myself why sinners like us call ourselver Reverends,
The Holy Bible says that when the world is coming to and end we will see things like a Black Pope.And the Holy book is always right. Even White Gays and White Lesbians will inherite Heaven than the holiest normal black person ...

BEND OVER BACKWARDS AND STICK YOUR HEAD UP YOUR ASS, WE WILL STILL NOT RECOGNIZE GAYS AND DYKES LIKE YOU IN GHANA ,LAND OF THE BLACKMAN!! WITH STATEMENTS LIKE THIS I AM NOT SURPRISED YOU CANNOT GET A MAN TO SLEEP WITH YOU.
I'm suppose to believe that, from a person who calls him/her self white lesbian?? What an Asshole!...
How do you call the man who impregnate your? Mother? May be you are insane!
hello! is black, no one will vote for him, not in this age and time. lets face it.
What will be will be. We are our own enemies. If Obama had listened to the likes of you he would not have presented himself. Knowing what we are up against requires profound and genuine wishes from all and sundry.
THIS WILL NOT BE A SURPRISE , FOR GHANAIANS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE FIRST AND THE BEST IN LEADING THE AFRICAN CONTINENT.BE PROUD TO BE A GHANAIAN ,JAH BLESS OUR HOMELAND GHANA.
Ghana is blessed. Kwame Nkrumah, Kofi Annan, and now Pope .........

Dreamer, you can tickle yourself and laugh.
false hope!!! It is only those in Ghana who've never associated with them will believe this cock and bull story! What a crap and their are already dreaming. Yooo!
Who cares, after praying for the slave ship before sailing to Africa to bring a bumper catch to the new world and turning round to tell us that cardinal is in the making makes one to wonder who are really these slavers.
1]What do you call a Chinese prostitute getting a bumper catch in his ass on the slave ship.? A: Wun Dum Ho .
2]He had a camera at the Elmina beach called Phil Ming.
3]He was a dwarf mass boy called Tei Knee .

Cardinal Appiah Turkson (son of a carpenter) grew up at Nsuta Wassa (Western Region). May you become a pope, to the glory of God and honour to your country. Amen!
Nsuta sounds like Nazareth and Turkson the son of a carpenter. The odds are not bad and I pray Cardinal Turkson gets the nod.

Shame on you child of no faith
So no comment on the morality of gambling on the future of religious leadership?
Yes We want cardinal turkson to be the next pope,because in the history of popes we have not seen blacks become the pope for ones, so we need a black pope.
YOU DON'T GET IT. THE VATICAN SAYS THE WORLD IS NOT READY FOR A BLACK POPE EVEN THOUGH IT MAKE BILLIONS IN BLACK AFRICA!!!!!!!!

Let all Ghanaian Catholics pray to God and the Holy Spirit about election of the new Pope. We shall be very glad if it falls on Cardinal Turkson who is my favourite but let God's will be done.

silly journalism . since when did papacy become chieftancy that we now have NEXT in line popes

A black man will never be a Pope. This article is just a mockery to make this man feel swollen headed. Why will a black man be elected a Pope? Tweakai.
In the history of the Catholic Church, there have been three Black Popes.
Pope Victor I from 189 to 199 A.D.
Pope Miltiades from 310 to 314 A.D.
Pope Gelasius from 492 to 496 A.D.
All from Roman North Africa.

Africans are apes? Collins Powell? Boateng from UK? Kofi Annan? Barrack Obama? Where does Jesus Come?
Africans are ruling the world either you like or not
The whole world has Cardinals in the Vatican,why should we alone tip Cardinal Turkson to be the next pope?
Be because why

The chief peadophile has resigned.
