I’m not surprised i’ve been predicting the last five yrs that cardinal turkson would become the next pope, and also the anti-christ, lets see if i’m right, and i actually got this idea from the prophecys in the Bible.

I Thank God for his word

it is most certain that we are in the end times. hell is about to break loose and heaven knows it. we are ready for the catholic church, we know what they are planning and they know we know. who can make war against the beast except the Lamb and His Bride…let the battle begin.

may God be praised.

Cardinal Peter Kojo Appiah Turkson has been very inspirational to the youth of the church and the world at large. I feel really proud to be a Catholic, Ghanaian and African. May the Good Lord see him through this mission.

There have in fact been three African Popes in the life of the early Christian Church; they were:
# Pope Victor I (189 to 199)
# Pope Miltiades (310/311 to 314)
# Pope Gelasius I (492 to 496)

Unfortunately the spread of Islam into Africa ahead of Christianity militated against more Africans rising up the hierarchy of the Church…

Congratulations to Cardinal Turkson and May God’s Will Be Done.

Im very touched by the additional duty that has been given to His Eminence and I want to use this opportunity to Let the Catholic youth of the world know that,hard work pays and therefore everything that they do must be done well for God rewards through service to mankind.
His Eminence didn’t get here through sheer luck,he got here through very hard work so we should emulate his example and we will go places and the world will be a better place for all of us.
Your Eminence God Bless you and concratulations,As Ghanaian catholics we are blessed.

First i thank God for his blessings on Christians especially the roman catholic church for the historical apostolic leadership. Regarding papacy,
God will choose his best cardinal for the position when time comes. It is
also good if the leader comes from a different continent other than Europe.
NOTE; what is important is the good leadership which brings positive changes. CONGRATULATIONS HIS EMINENCE FOR THE NEW POSITION.

I was so happy to hear of Cardinal Turkson being called to Rome to replace Card. Martino, but I have to admit that I was a bit surprised and disappointed to hear Cardinal Turkson say that there is no reason there should not be a black Pope…true,there is no reason (I was hoping for the election of Cardinal Arinze)…but saying what he did, it could seem that Cardinal Turkson considers himself to be the one to fill that position…perhaps it is not what he meant…at any rate, I wish him well.

It God’s choice, to make an african a next Pope. What is important is not the race or region where God appoints a pope, but continuation of God’s love for mankind that seeks a clear guidance to do what is expected out of humanity on earth where we are God’s image and ambassodor

May God’ s voice be heard.
