It is likely that the next pope will be selected to reflect the contemporary Catholic community, and thus be from a third world country, probably an African.
Strong chance that he will hail from Central or South America. My 2 cents.

Popes of Rome do not Retire and this Pope Benedict will be on the Job for Christ all his days the Lord gives him ..... After this Pope Benedict days are up, then Pope Peter of Rome will take His place as the prophecies have predicted ....
Pope's have stepped down in the past, not recently but it is possible.
