I read a few years ago an article somewhere about the most likely candidates for his successor. I seem to recall that at least half of them were black.
Imho the catholic church has done more to increase bigotry over the years than to counter it, but I think the election of a black pope would send a poweful message that you don't have to be a white guy to be an influential figure in the western world. (Although it probably helps
)
Big question is, how long before we get a *female* pope?
