The Next Pope

The posts I've made today have, so far, done little to garner comment, so I'll pose a question to you. As you all know by now, we are less than three weeks away from a conclave to elect the next pope. Like it or not, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church serves as a representative of the whole of Christendom, so protestants should be showing some interest in who the next guy is.

My two questions for you are:

A) Where do you think the next pope should come from?

B) What issues, both within and outside the Roman Catholic Church, would you like to see the next pope address?
