*World Prepares for First Black Pope in the 21st Century:* *VATICAN CITY:* Cardinal Robert Sarah, 79, from Guinea, is in the spotlight as a top pick to replace Pope Francis, 88, who's been hospitalized with double pneumonia since February 2025. Born June 15, 1945, in Ourous, a remote village, Sarah grew up poor under a griot mom-storytellers of West Africa-dodging a Marxist regime that blacklisted him. Ordained in 1969, he became Conakry's archbishop at 34, defying dictator Sékou Touré, who died in 1984. A little-known gem: he once walked 70 miles barefoot as a kid to hear Mass, per his book God or Nothing. If elected by the 120-130 voting cardinals, he'd be the first Black pope of the 21st century-huge for Africa's 41% Catholic growth since 2000, signaling a shift from Europe's grip. Sarah's rise would be epic, but critics say the Vatican won't let a Black pope happen, like they block women priests-a backward, women-hating relic, they argue. Rumors swirl that a Black pope might spill the Church's dark secrets: priests raping boys from Africa to the U.S. In 2018, Pope Francis begged forgiveness in Ireland-where over 14,500 kids were abused by clergy since the 1940s, per a 2009 report-for decades of assaults and cover-ups. In Pennsylvania, a 2018 grand jury found 1,000+ kids raped by 300+ priests over 70 years. Globally, 3,428 priests were defrocked since 1989, per the National Registry, yet critics fear Sarah could expose more, like the 3,600 abused in Germany (1946-2014) or Argentina's Provolo Institute horrors. Catholicism isn't Christianity, some say-it's a masculine cult with a wild past. Take Pope John XII (955-964), who ran a brothel in the Vatican, or Benedict IX (1032-1048), a rapist who sold the papacy thrice. Alexander VI (1492-1503) poisoned rivals and slept around, while Urban VI (1378-1389) tortured cardinals to death. Sarah, a conservative who hates modernism, could either clean this mess or bury it deeper. At 79, his shot's historic-but will the Vatican risk it? Question: Do You Think The World Will Get A Black Pope? Yes 🙏🙏🙏 No 👎👎👎 Who cares? 😒😂😂
