"&lt;strong&gt;{{tmz_video_0}}&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Rapper&lt;strong&gt; Common&lt;/strong&gt; isn't too beat up about the Pope calling it quits today -- because it means the next leader of the Catholic Church ... COULD BE BLACK!!!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Common was coming back from a workout session in L.A. ... when our photog asked about the strong possibility &lt;strong&gt;Pope Benedict XVI&lt;/strong&gt;'s replacement could be a black cardinal from Ghana named &lt;strong&gt;Peter Turkson&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img alt=\"0211_cardinal_peter_turkson-2\" src=\"http://ll-media.tmz.com/2013/02/11/0211-cardinal-peter-turkson-3.jpg\" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In the age of a black President, Common tells us, electing a black Pope would be \"a beautiful thing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;FYI -- Pope Benedict XVI is the first Pope in nearly 600 years to call it quits ... saying he's too old at the age of 85 to continue doing the job."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
