You can look at bios of all the cardinals or just those who might be the next Pope. The bios even talk about those who might be progressive or conservative or more likely to carry on the legacy of Francis. You can also view where the cardinals stand on certain issues like ordaining female deacons, blessing same-sex couples, making priestly celibacy optional, focusing on climate change, etc. You can also see which cardinals will be voting versus non-voting.
Not Catholic myself, but it was just interesting, almost like doing candidate research.
Erdo is the one to avoid. Zuppi and Tagle would be best.
Still think it’ll be Parolin but we’ll see - could def see Zuppi getting it
Amazing to me as a Catholic that the U.S. media has spent so much time relaying the feelings of conservatives about the conclave/next Pope. The amount of attention Catholic conservatives can get for themselves here is astounding. They're a very annoying rump group who is great at PR.
There's no way a conservative (Erdo, Burke, etc.) becomes Pope. If 90 of the 108 Cardinals Francis appointed stick together, they can elect whomever they want, and it won't be a right-winger. My guesses are Parolin or Tagle.
Yeah, it really misunderstands the global Church. Erdo might have a chance - Burke has virtually none.
If the Cardinalate want to split the difference they could go with Besungu, whose closer to the Franciscan line than most African prelates
What a remarkably thorough website!
