My money is on Francis Arinze.
Mostly because he would be an interesting pope.
1. He's black(if the Italians disliked a Polish pope...)
2. Unfortunately he's very, very conservative on church doctrine.
However, perhaps an African pope would put the current AIDs situation into a more public light. The church could do a lot of good in Africa if they would relax their stance on contraception. Francis Arinze, conservative as he may be, will be the public face of African religion and culture.
