Hmmm…
Well, here’s the deal.
A cardinal from a Jesuit background is just as much a cardinal as any other. Can’t see why that would be a hang up.
Would you prefer…maybe…an Opus Dei priest instead?
This cardinal is an opus dei priest.
However, he is now too old to vote and is likely out of the running as a result.
You don’t understand Jebby’s. If you did, you wouldn’t as such a question.
What don’t I understand?
Are the Jesuits not an order of religious, of which there are many?
His issue is that he feels Jesuits are too liberal in dogma, social justice, human rights and climate change. He would prefer someone more regressive.
Jesuits aren’t all the same.
They are as individual as any other group of religious.
Oh, I know. You do not have to tell me direct it to CV. I received a great education from Jesuits and Basilian priests.
I think it’s going to be the Cardinal from the Philippines….
Pope Francis laid the groundwork for the direction the Catholic Church is headed.
He also put some people in place to ensure that his policies will continue.
Let the Conclave begin.
Its not the same reason that a certain US rep thought Pope Francis was evil is it?
Conclave starts after the funeral, give us some time to grieve.
Your favorite church can’t vote for the new Pope, can they?
Yep, she posted that. A certain percentage of a political base saw him as deeply evil.
Thanks for posting the detailed steps after a pope passes. That was cool to read, I knew most but not all.
The Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter does not have a Bishop with Cardinal rank.
And probably won’t ever get one.
Anyway, the Conclave will convene 15-20 days after the Pope’s burial.
This video, made by a Priest that I’ve actually said confession to, lays it all out.
I wouldn’t be so sure.
Bishop Lopes is still young. He might get there eventually.
That said, Cardinal Dinardo, former Archbishop of Houston/Galveston, still has a vote.
I should mention also that Anglican priests and Eastern Orthodox priests that come over to the Catholic Church are indeed Catholic in every sense of the word, and NOT “separate.” That’s a misstatement on your part. As the saying goes…ONE Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
Eastern Catholic Churches are in full communion with Rome, and the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter, Personal Ordinariate of Our Lady of the Southern Cross, and Personal Ordinariate of the Our Lady of Walsingham are ALL full members of their Roman Catholic Church and Latin Rite. Those Personal Ordinariates simply observe different liturgical traditions based on the 11th Century English Sarum Rite.
As far as Eastern Catholic Churches, all of which are in full communion with Rome, there are a total of eight Bishops with the rank of Cardinal, however, three of them are too old to vote.
Cardinal George Allencherry (Syro-Malabar Church), Age 80
Cardinal Lucian Muresan (Romanian Byzantine Catholic Church), Age 93
Cardinal Becherra Pierre Rai (Maronite), Age 85
Cardinal Baselios Cleemis Thottunkal (Syro-Malankara Church), Age 65
Cardinal Berhaneyesus Deremew Souraphiel (Ethiopian Catholic Church), Age 76
Cardinal Louis Raphael I Sako (Chaldean Catholic Church), Age 76
Cardinal Mykola Bychok (Ukrainian Byzantine Catholic Church), Age 45
Cardinal George Jacob Koovakad (Syro-Malabar Church), Age 51
We’ll see. You can’t be sure.
Pope Benedict was to the Right of Pope John Paul II.
Pope Francis was to the left of both.
But several of the leading contenders are to the Right of Francis; one is about the same (the Cardinal from the Philippines), and one is possibly to the Left of Francis (a Maltese Bishop).
It could go any which way.
How far left do we have to go before we wind up with an antipope situation?
Antipopes only occur if/when a Pope isn’t legitimately elected according to the Canon Law.
