Comments about ‘Could there be an American pope?’

What the Roman Catholic Church needs at this juncture is a Pope who is not only an outsider, but also from the minority. Yes, this will rattle the brittle bones of the ancient institution, but it will also purge it. Indeed, electing a minority Pope will renew our faith in Christ who Himself would have done no less.

I sincerely doubt that God dabbles in identity politics and seeks to "rattle the brittle bones" of the Church. I think He wants a humble fisherman with zeal and worthiness who will reach out to all His children and stir them to live the Gospel.
Men have made the Holy See a political contest.
