Btw, why are you people upset? Fighting for a position in a religion that's not for you and one that wasn't started by Africans, so why the noise? Christianity is only in Africa because of the need for imperialism, colonization, and slavery, FACT. Christianity was not brought to Africa with good intentions, yet you people cannot free yourselves from mental slavery.
A prime example is this: Every time something bad happens in Nigeria, people start shouting for God to do something instead of getting off of their asses to do it. Waiting for a miracle that will never happen. Do you think America and Europe, and now many countries in Asia, got to where they are today by sitting on their asses waiting for "God" to do something? Its very disheartening. Stop using religion as a fucking crutch! A lot of Africans are even more religious/Christian than the Europeans!! They're all laughing at you while they continue to bleed Africa dry. WAKE UP!!!!!!!!
Smh... This is just high level of irreverence for the African race. Well, we all know an african as a pope can only happen 6 months after rapture, that's how least likely is it.
WELL...I JUST KNEW THIS COMMENT WAS GOING TO COME OUT SOMETIME. I'D THOUGHT ABOUT THE NOMINATION FROM A WHITE MAN'S POINT OF VIEW AND THIS WAS WHAT I THOUGHT THEY'D SAY. "IMAGINE THE AUDACITY FOR ANOTHER BLACK MAN TO HAVE SUCH POWER TO RULE. WE WON'T ALLOW IT!". RACISM IS STILL ALIVE, FRIENDS AND FAMILY. HAPPY SUNDAY!
In as much as I try not to be dragged in any form of debate,as it pertains d Papacy. I beg to disagree that Africa has comeof age when it comes to who produce d new vicar of Christ. Cardinal Arinze who has spent more than 20years and occupies one of d most strategic positions at d Vatican,Prefect of d Sacraments,which is second after that of Faith. is no stranger or novice when it comes to d issue of Papcy. btw we implore d Holy spirit to guide the princes of d church as they elect the new bishop of Rome,successor of St Peter and Supreme pontiff. we Catholics don't care where he comes from,coz in Christ Jesus there's no east or west.
The annointing is from above and not of men.It is HOLY SPIRIT affairs and not affairs of man for all comes from GOD be yeah black,white,blue or even red man.All are children of GOD and the mantle of leadership in CHRIST's church is guided by HOLY SPIRIT and not man.
I guess that we cannot expect much better from an ageing kraut? He was probably a member of the Nazi Youth Corps during the Second World War. Thank God that I am not a catholic. All forms of racism and discrimination must die.
Keep it real and say...."No N***er is ever going to wear that papal hat.". Stop with the lack of experience BS! Religion and Politics. *le sigh*. Surely the opium if the masses...
I hope our so called african catholics are reading this. When it comes to building their church that's when they know africans are wonderful people, but when it comes to leading the church that's when they realize that africans are stupid.
I thought the pope is divinely elected and not selected on human judgement or other terrestial factors like racism...What experience? Are Africans less human? Is there any vice/challenge/problem in Africa that is not in other continents? So when will Africa have enough 'experience' to become eligible?
Linda, please I need to locate that post that talked about the vision a man had concerning the arrangement of catholic popes and how it will end. Please just refer me to that post of mention it so that I can get a point am searching for... Please I beg you
Hahahahaha.....I know some LIB commentators will Disagree with this monsignor dude!...Tooh!! The guy yarn him church mind!!...in other words Popery is not for Negroes...lmao!!..I wonder when he became a spokesman for the holy spirit ...Am not a catholic so as regards this issue am an "amused" observer.........It took a negro in the person of Obama(who by the way is half white)..over 300 years to get to the "WHITE HOUSE"!..............................As for Rome!, NO BLACK MAN is getting there this century!!! That I can bet on.....Although to me monsignors statement can be qualified as "Racist"!....Catholics over to Una....aymii
This is jst how u know dis whole tin is a conspiracy....a pope(as we kno it) is supposedly selected tru God i.e Gos chooses d pope......4rm mi knowledge of God abv, he doesn't select by requirements nor experience, he select by his own standards n grace....therefore I find dis statement non religious, mayb a bit more racial......God chooses his own....
Oh my God! What an unguarded statement!I'm sure he meant to say ''Rome is not ready for a black pope!''This is so disheartening...there are going to be reprisals, I know...he should brace himself for the backlash!
Oh my God! What an unguarded statement!I'm sure he meant to say ''Rome is not ready for a black pope!''This is so disheartening...there are going to be reprisals, I know...he should brace himself for the backlash!
did david has any xperience when he went to fought with goliath,is it not God's will and Grace dat he defeated dat him.Never knew there is RACISM in the catholic church mtcheeeew
PLEASE EDUCATED YOURSELF! When the Catholic church was behind and supported the enslavement of Africans to which they benefited from immensely. Africans need to wake up and stop being slaves to the white man's religion. The Bible even says that dark people are dark because they're cursed. What kind of shit is that?
IMPORTED RELIGIONS ARE WHY AFRICA IS IN THE CONDITION IT IS IN TODAY. IT HAS MADE US A VERY DOCILE AND PASSIVE PEOPLE. AFRICA WAKE UP!!!!!!!
Religion and christianity started from africa and yet they say we do not have enough experience to handle religion?? Well they may say that on politics and other matters not religion becos we are very religious ppl so. George ratzinging YES WE CAN.
He's right. Africans are not faggots like they are in the Vatican. What "leadership" are we as africans getting from the Vatican anyway. Maybe its time to break off!
How many times will i tell you fucking Africans to leave the white man's religion for them. Its not made for us, there are all sorts of racist texts. Also, the Roman Catholic church supported AND profited heavily from slavery!! Wake up people and free yourselves from colonial slavery. Trust me, you will be happy you did. There are plenty of ways to lead a spiritual life without conforming to ideologies that aren't "African"friendly. This is the main reason why much of Africa is in its piss poor state today.
Hard 2 accept buh he is very correct! Africans re naturally self greedy nd irresponsible...as much as we kal ourselves christians,its simply a fact dat most of us dnt possess d strong will 2 b given such responsibility...
Wow! Having looked at the list of the most likely candidates to replace the pope, I found out there were two west Africa candidates. One from Nigeria, and the other our sister country Ghana.I was able to discover majority points at the Nigerian candidate. However it pains me so much that he is likely not to win. Not because he may not win the votes,or deserves to be the pope, but because of this racism factor. Today in the world the racism is unthinkable even in the holy church. I keep wondering what kind of christanity is been preached??? Also in the african community both at home and in dispora, tribalism in schools, at work, in the market, in marriage, in politics,and most importantly in the CHURCH is the cap of the day. I think its time we think deep and ask our inner minds, if indeed we profess true christanity? Even if you belong to the muslim faith or any other faith, I'm sure your doctrines teaches about love. Love knows no boundaries,tribe or colour. Jesus Returns soonest. So let's build a good relationship with God. Tribalism or racism might look so little, but indeed it is huge. Let's stop all this self hate, and tribal war that exists in this blog, and in all aspect of our lives. God bless you all. Regards, The one that loves all. (Linda please post)
I just couldn't ignore this. What rubbish experience is Ratzinger talking about? Is it your love for God that qualifies you or experience. Some of the big guns in the Roman Catholic church are crazy. Menopause don catch dem finish. Wona comot me for road witches and wizards . Idiots.
“I’m certain a pope will come from the new continents but whether it will be now, I have my doubts,” he said.
“In Europe, we have many very able people, and the Africans are still not so well known and maybe do not have the experience yet.”
that's the statement from the popes brother. he only said he has his doubts he hasn't written Africans off. y linda has rephrased it to make it look otherwise i do not understand. guess u just want more hits on ur blog.
Didn't know you needed experience to be a Pope. For years the Europeans had a monopoly on it. Now that there is a real chance of an African achieving that level, "we have no experienced". What do you expect from the Ratzingers, a bunch of Nazis. It's well documented, the former pope was in Hitler's youth wing.
He is right! Only need take a look at the African continent to get his point! Which African country has been able to get its act together after centuries of existence? Only Ghana! Mscheeeeeeeeeeeew!! We cant rule ourselves competently and we want to lead the House of God?!
@ Linda March 3, 2013 at 5:11 PM and all the others who actually agree with this statement please emancipate your brain from mental slavery.
What exactly is the experience needed? Molest little boys 101? One sweet day my fellow black-Africans will wake up and realise they are pawns in an imported religion. The willingness to accept and kneel before a "God" that does not look like us is the genesis of innate "African inferiority complex" - think deep and think fast. Pope Ratzinger a German as Pope? A German with a Nazi past. And then the audacity to state there is an issue with an African Pope. If that is not enough of an insult and a reality check then l dont know what is.
IT IS A PITY THIS IS COMING FROM THE MOUTH A PERSON WHO SHOULD KNOW BETTER. IN THIS 21ST CENTURY PPLE ARE BEING JUDGED BY THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN, IT IS REALLY A PITY.
HOW I WISH AFRICANS CAN STICK TO THEIR OWN TRADITIONAL WAY OF WORSHIPING GOD, RATHER THAN SWALLOW EVERYTHING FROM A WHITE MAN, LINE, HOOK AND SINKER.
Lets call a spade a spade, I watched the interview and I feel he was quoted out of context. When asked he replied that they have alot of experience in European countries and that he dint believe now was the time, but he believes one day an african will.
I have nothing to say about the catholic church, am nt a catholic tho i av my reservations abt them buh yes, all of u africans saying africans are inexperienced @ Chidozie mario...thats how y'all look at the white man as being superior to u...did God always call the qualified in the bible??? Y'all read the bible yet u get so caught up with obeying some kinda "religious rules"...am just baffled how pple blieve/support that some pple are under qualified for God's work???? Nxt time u read the bible try to see how many pple God chose for his work that were unqualified per say
am not entirely surprised. had been expecting dis remark to emerge at some point. may i ask pls: what kind of "experience"? i thot dis process is entirely a spiritual affair..is politics involved too??? i think some human beings dont just wanna see a black US Pres.and a black Pope running concurrently. Shame on humans..RACISM IS STILL ALIVE AND HEALTHY!!!
I totally agree with the man, a black man is still a black man even if u make him a pope, he ll g there and mess the Vatican up. We are not yet ready full STOP.
Who made him judge? He's not God!

ReplyDeleteSmh... This is just high level of irreverence for the African race. Well, we all know an african as a pope can only happen 6 months after rapture, that's how least likely is it.
ReplyDeleteSmh

ReplyDeleteLmao!!!!!! Stupid catholic faggot leaders
ReplyDeleteI am catholic, but truth be told it will be the end of the world the day a black man ascends that seat; pope. They are supremist the lot of them.

ReplyDeleteYou Christians can be so delusional. What you said makes no sense whatsoever
DeleteOr tell me who talks to God and God verbally respond? Mtchewww
DeleteIs it about experience or God's calling?
ReplyDeleteI guess that we cannot expect much better from an ageing kraut? He was probably a member of the Nazi Youth Corps during the Second World War. Thank God that I am not a catholic. All forms of racism and discrimination must die.
ReplyDeleteHmmm
ReplyDeleteI don't just sti reason y dys whites sti luk down on we africans bt dey av 4got dat we ar dominatin d world.
ReplyDeleteDon't believe this... What does it take to become a Pope? The criteria is more of the spiritual than physical.
ReplyDeletehe didn't particularly say Africans cos the question he was asked referred to Africans, Asians and other continents.
ReplyDeleteThe seat of the pope is the anti-christ seat,wolves in sheep clothing !
ReplyDeleteU will die miserably. Idiot
DeleteThen his Elder brother must be an Ignoramus. Coz d last tym i checked, we've had two popes from africa. #GoogleIsYourFriend.
