Pope Betting Has Ghana’s Turkson in Lead
Turkson’s journey has taken him from his rural hometown in the West African nation’s mining heartland to the Vatican and now to possibly becoming the world’s first black pope. The 64- year-old is the 2-to-1 favorite to replace Pope Benedict XVI as head of the Catholic Church, according to results today from betting company Paddy Power Plc (PAP) in Dublin.

It appears, however, that these are the three strongest candidates for pope who, in some way, reflect the prophecy of St. Malachy.
