Mumbai
Archbishop in line for papacy
Vatican City, April 3

Paul II, a chain of events laid down by centuries of papal tradition
swung into action, but who will emerge as the next pontiff is a
guess no one dares to hazard. A pope from Italy, reverting to habit?
An African pontiff? How about Latin America, or India? Ivan Dias,
the 69-year-old Archbishop of Mumbai, carries the best hopes of the
Indian Subcontinent.
