44. My prediction is an African pope.
I've been thinking that for several days.

I think it would send a strong message, and continue John Paul's legacy of reaching out to the "third world."

I mean, after John Paul, can they really be expected to select an Italian pope? Even selecting a European pope at this point would send a somewhat exclusive message, and I think the church wants to be more inclusive with the rest of the world.

My second guess in a South American Pope.
