Popes pick new names when they become pope. This one's name was Karol or some thing like that.
With Catholism spreading the quickest in Africa and Asia, it is not unlikely at all that the next pope would come from one of these areas. I really wouldn't be surprised if one came from South or Latin America either. If the church wants someone who will represent the most people, it will be from these areas and not from Italy or Europe. This pope has done a wonderful job... Laurie --- "Lowell R.

Now, I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment, and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next.
