Who will be the next Pope? The decision may have a deep impact on the Catholic Church and the world’s 1.4 billion baptized Roman Catholic.
At the same time, it promises to be a very unexpected and open process for many reasons.
The Cardinals will meet at Sistine Chapel to argue at the college and then vote for the elected candidates until it was called alone.
80% of the cardinals identified by Pope Francis, not only Pope, but will offer a wide global perspective.
For the first time in history, less than half of the vote will be Europe.
Although the college was dominated by the appointment, they were not only “progressive” or “traditional”.
For these reasons, it is harder to predict who the next Pope will be selected.
Cardinals can choose an African or Asian Pope or prefer one of the old hands of the Vatican management?
Behold, we expect the choice of names marked as the potential successor of Francis and will appear in the coming days.
Pietro password
Nationality: Italian
Age: 70
The soft-speaking Italian cardinal password, the Vatican Secretary of State in the name of Pope Francis – made the head consultant of the Pope. The Secretary of State, as well as Rome Curia, is also headed by the central office of the church.
The Pope can be considered an effective manner as a MP, fontrunner.
The diplomacy and global worldview are more considered more than a priority and global worldview than the purity of Catholic dogma. Critics, supporters see a force.
However, he called on the legalization of the same sexual marriage in the world, to vote for Landmark 2015 “Defeat for humanity” in the Republic of Ireland.
The bookmarkers can return it, but the cardinal password will know better than an old Italian, which emphasizes the uncertainty of the selection process: “It leaves as a cardinal as a cardinal.”
If there is no Italian Pope from previous 266 POP 213, Italian and 40 years, the pivot of the upper echelons of a church remotely from Italy and Europe may not be there.
Luis antonio gokim tagle
Nationality: Philippines
Age: 67
Cardinal Tagle became the first Asian Pope? Unlike the password, ten decades have pastoral experience – the meaning was a church leader among the people, unlike a diplomat for the Vatican or a clip expert on his church law.
The church is widely effective in the Philippines, 80% of the population is Catholic. Cardinal Tagle in the country currently has a college of a cardinals that can lead to a heavy lobbying fraction.
The Catholic definition is considered moderate and called “Asia Francis” for their sacrifices and sympicality and sympathy for migrants dedicated to social issues.
He called them against the rights of the church, called the “form of murder” – a position in the concept of the church in the concept of life. He also spoke against the opposite to the outsider.
However, in 2015, Cardinal Tagle, Cardinal Tagle, Kartal Tagle’s “fierce” position, “branded”, “branded” and “branded” and every man has re-evaluated the “fierce” position.
Cardinal, as the moment of 2013, Francis was selected, the Pope was considered returning the Pope’s 2013.
A decade ago, he asked how he could be next, “I responded,” I act like a joke! ” This is funny. “
Fridolin ambongo besungu
Nationality: Congolese
Age: 65
The next Papa is very possible that it can be from Africa where the Catholic Church continues to add millions of members. Cardinal Ambongo is a leading candidate leading by the Democratic Republic of Congo (DCR).
He was a archbishop of Kinsha for seven years and was appointed cardinal by Pope Francis.
He is a cultural conservative, the same sexual marriage, “the compounds of the same sex are considered contrary to cultural norms and internal evil.”
Although the majority of Christianity is religious, Christians, the Islamic State and the rebel group faced death and oppression in the hands of the Islamic state. In the same background, Cardinal Ambongo is considered as a violent lawyer for the church.
But in the 2020 interview, the protestants said: “Protestants have protestants and Muslims. We will work with them. But everyone must keep his identity.”
Think that such statements are fully embraced by some cardinal fences, and the Catholics will spread the word of the church in the world.
Peter Kodwo Appiah Turkson
Nationality: Ghana
Age: 76
If he was elected by his peers, the prestigious Cardinal TURKSON would be aware of being the first African Pope for 1500 years.
As Cardinal Ambongo, he claimed that he did not want the case. “I’m not sure that nobody eats to be the Pope,” he said.
The next Pope of Africa said that he had a good job to provide the next pope to the continent, because he did not feel the statistics on the continent, because “these types of these types of these types include mud.”
In 2003, Cardinal was the first Gananian behind Pope John Paul II.
Like the cardinal tagle, the Cardinal Turkey was considered a potential Pope after a decade when Francis was elected. In fact, the bookmakers made him happy before the voting.
A guitarist, who once played in a funk group, is recognized by the fact that Cardinal Turkson is energetic.
Like many cardinals from Africa, conservative leaning. At the same time, he opposed the criminalization of gay relations in Africa, including his native Ghana.
In an interview with a BBC in 2023, Ghana parliament discussed a bill that applied harsh punishments to the people of LGBTQ, said Turks should not be considered a crime.
In 2012, he was accused of making fear for the spread of Islam in Europe forecasts that he was apologized for this.
