23rd July, 2009
With Pope Benedict XVI suffering from some serious health problems, the question is being raised of who could be the next Pope? Online bookies Paddy Power has immediately bought out new odds on who is the most likely candidates.
Francis Arinze has been named as the most sensible out of the suggested with Paddy Power backing him 5/1. He has followed Pope Benedict XVI footsteps, previously filling the role of Cardinal Bishop of Velletru-Segni so there is nothing to suggest that he couldn’t continue and become Pope.
Paddy Power are not limiting bets, with other possibilities including joint second favourite Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga and Cardinal Angelo Scola with odds of 7/1. Other names include the likes of Jorge Mario Bergoglio from Argentina.
