...Africa - or anywhere outside of Europe - to lead its ever more diverse flock. Vatican insiders are reticent to name names with Benedict so firmly in command, but there are several prominent clerics likely to take Arinze's place as most papabile African, alongside other better known possibilities from Latin America and Asia who might one day become Pope.

...College of Cardinals - once dominated by Italians - has become a much more diverse group. Still, Europeans continue to have a virtual lock in overall numbers: exactly half of the current 116 Cardinal electors (those under age 80) are from Europe, with Italy still counting 20.

Like many people from Latin America, Garcia Luna has two last names, and Minnesotans aren't used to Latin Americans. So it seems logical that some election official looked up his last name under Luna instead of Garcia and determined he wasn't registered, even though he was. Garcia Luna, who just became a citizen...
