The tremendous impact of Pope John Paul II on Cold War politics leads one to think that perhaps an Irish Pope could do the same for the Troubles in Ireland.
This conflict is long overdue for a solution and the Pope has the right authority to impact a positive outcome. Fear of the Papacy could be overcome by an empathetic policy of outreach toward the Protestants. At least we could have peace with a Catholic acceptance of the Protestant North's right to exist.
