Radical Brazilian cardinal leads succession race
THE Archbishop of São Paolo, Cardinal Claudio Hummes, may become the first Latin American pope if the conclave that chooses John Paul II’s successor decides to reflect the church’s strength in the developing world.
Latin America, which has 21 voting cardinals and is home to half the world’s baptised Catholics, is expected to stake a strong claim to the papacy if, as is probable, no candidate achieves the required two-thirds majority in the early ballots.
