For centuries the Catholic Church has been preaching false doctrines such as the state of the dead, praying to the "Blessed Virgin Mary" and saints, and promoting idolatrous practices such as kissing crosses on Good Friday and charging fees for indulgencies.

The numerous problems which erupted during the reign of Benedict XVI give evidence that the Church needs a change: mentally, physically, socially, and economically.

The Catholic Church needs a dynamic leader who can be used by God to acknowledge the sins of the Church and ask for forgiveness. The conclave cardinals may need to elect a pope who has a track record as an evangelist and a history of preaching the word of God, even if it contradicts the traditional teachings of the Church.
Bluntly put, the Catholic needs the good old evangelical and apostolic organization instead of following blindly the centuries old traditions.

God chooses a man not because of his color, capabilities, experiences, educational background, or social status. He does not see as man sees.

God chooses a man not because of his color, capabilities, experiences, educational background, or social status. He does not see as man sees.

"But the LORD said unto Samuel, Look not on his countenance, or on the height of his stature; because I have refused him: for the LORD seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the LORD looketh on the heart" (1 Samuel 16:7).

"He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy. Praise the LORD, O Jerusalem; praise thy God, O Zion" (Psalms 147:10-12).

Family Bible Notes
Psalms 147:11
"Outward pomp and power are vain in the sight of God; he looks to the state of the heart."

Pulpit Commentary
Psalms 147:10
"He delighteth not in the strength of the horse. In a certain sense, God no doubt "delights" in the glory and excellency of all his creatures; but their physical endowments do not give him the sensible pleasure which he derives from the moral qualities of his rational creation (see ver. 11). The negation is not absolute, but relative (compare "I will have mercy, and not sacrifice"). He taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man; i.e. in his strength and swiftness."

May God bless the new pope with a sense of heaven's wisdom in stewardship so that he can bring Christlikeness in all operations of the Church!

This lunatic Musa Kaso needs psychological treatment. You are already being judgmental by calling Catholics "Sinners" which the Holy Bible abhors. Are you telling the whole world that the followers of that your mushroom church are all saints? Then there wouldn't have been any need for your church because Jesus Christ came down because sinners and the down trodden. I urge you to read the Holy Bible often and get deliverance. I believe sincerely your pastor never preached in your church especially about the Jew and the Pharisee in the Bible. Be wise and criticize maturely and objectively next time.

It will be wise for the Catholic Church to select a cardinal from Africa if they want to renew their strength in the continent of Africa. Catholicism is loosing its grounds in the continent of Africa faster than the Sahara desert.

Amanfou!!!, God is calling the Catholic Church for reformation, God being a merciful God is giving them a second chance.

The Catholic Church has to seek the true way to God through his rigtheousness that is through his Son Jesus the Christ not through his mother Mary.

Jesus said, "Iam the way and the truth, no one can come to the Father but throgh me"

Did he says, through my mother Mary?

We all know that, Christianity is based on the doctrines of Jesus Christ and his Apostles.

How come that the Pope and the Priests of the Catholic Church do not marry, etc., etc.,?

Have you seen where the works and human tradition is killing the catholic Church?, yes, they are serving satan instead of God.

We are all waiting for the next Pope, the next Pope for what?

The next Pope to follow the same traditions of man instead of God?

Is the Catholic Church ready for a change, a change so that God can lead them?

Why should the Priests of the Catholic Church allow gays etc., etc., to have a place in them?

A next Pope........? hmmmmmm????
