American pope during a critical time equals two things. If a conspiracy is suspected it does not exist. If a conspiracy exists it is not suspected. Heads-up pope, while the Israel people are kind and wonderful people, never discount the percentage that exists in all ethic groups, that will go to any lengths to win a war in the name of “survival”. Alternatively, some nut job thinking they work for ISIS or another group may try and do a Jackal on the pope? What better way to bring about a religious war? Keep your security tight is my recommendation, at least until things in the Middle East settle down.
