There are suspicions that Canadian Cardinal Marc Ouellet might be the next Pope. I say hogwash since there has never been a non-european Pope. Than again, there's never been an African-American president in the U.S. before and now look at our current situation.
However, ignoring that, there has been recently a rise in religion in certain places such as Quebec. On a survey, people in Quebec expressing any form of religious attachment has risen from 26% to 34% in the latest survey. In other places as well, such as the Atlantic Canada and the B.C. have risen while other places such as Alberta have fallen.
There are many reasons that could be atributed to this rise of religion and none are certain. However, what is certain is that if Ouellet becomes a candidate for Papacy than this rise may reach its peak.
