Which one of these does not belong: rampant secularism/Sexual Revolutionism/consumerism/Protestantism exported throughout the world by the U.S.A

Ooh, ooh, I know! I know!  Call on me! Me! - The slashes don't belong because everyone knows that Pope Gramaticas XX held that only commas can be used to separate nouns.  And Popes are infallible.  Or incorrigible.  Whatever.  I don't know Popes.

Mike Potemra on the shocking possibility that the next Pope could be American.


It would actually make sense, in the light of recent history, for the cardinals to choose an American Pope, on the analogy of the election of Karol Wojtyla in 1978. At that time, the greatest world-historical threat to the church was the Communist Bloc; so they elected a Pope from within that bloc, who understood it intimately. If they decide that the greatest threat in the immediate future is the rampant secularism/Sexual Revolutionism/consumerism/Protestantism exported throughout the world by the U.S.A., an American Pope might be the one to lead that particular resistance. (If, on the other hand, they view the rise of an aggressive Muslim world as the chief threat, they might consider Cardinal Turkson of Ghana.)
