Why I want a 3rd world pope
John Paul did some good stuff. He also perpetuated some doctrines that I find harmful.
If the next pope comes from Latin America or Africa, he'll viscerally understand 3rd world poverty issues. And he just may see how important population control is to economic well being and social justice. (If your population growth rate exceeds your GDP growth rate, GDP per person falls, and everyone has less.) So we just may get some birth control doctrine revised. And this would be good.
So I'm rooting for a brown pope of some sort.
