So…most are the complete opposite of what Francesco did and then there a couple who are more or less on his same level.
Its going to be spicy. I do hope we get Zuppi or Tagle tho
I would like the conservatives to get mad at a black pope…
I don’t think it’ll be a conservative one, it would risk running in contrast with most countries. A liberal one would be liked here on Reddit but in the real world he would likely alienate most Christians. Pietro Parolin would be a good choice but Peter Tukson might be the best choice to show faith in Africa.
Wasn’t there a Maltese cardinal who has a chance of becoming the pope
„gender ideology“
LGBT people: we wanna exist
That Card: such vile ideology
God save us from Leo Burke, although it would be cool for that simple fact that there would be a 99,999% of him bringing back the Papal coronation!
just not the hungarian pls
As long as it’s not the yank cunt “of Irish descent “, the christofascist prick.
You amateurs base your opinions on the description, I base my opinion on the flag
My vote goes to His Eminence Andrew Yeom Soo-jung. Cardinal, Archbishop emeritus of Seoul And former Apostolic Administrator of the Diocese of Pyongyang in North Korea
Either the purple Italian, Philipino or Ghanan
They should make me the pope
I vote for the girl that has description -“post your reply”
Zuppi is suppi
Lets go with the netflix one.
I’m voting for the GOAT Pierbattista Pizzaballa
Please make the next pope black. That would be the funniest shit that could happen.

Keep in mind that “liberal” and “conservative” mean very different things here, and all of these men are very conservative by general european standards.
Italian or Cardinal Tagle.
But definitely not the christofascist from the US.

The duality of a Catholic priest

Team Sarah, let’s go!
The American one looks like he’s been eating the alter boys instead of just molesting them.
Realistically I think it would be Parolin or Zuppi. Someone who has similar views as Francis. Also because the papacy generally favours Italians and I doubt would elect an African or Asian. As long as it’s not the Yank tho.
A Dutch pope would be ironic since the existence of the Netherlands is based on not being catholic
As everybody knows, God is a proud member of the Dutch Reformed Church, so I don’t give a shit who becomes the next pope.
Let’s be realistic. While I doubt we’re gonna get an excessively conservative Pope, a liberal Pope on a pragmatic level would probably destroy the Church.
Francis’s strength was in the fact that while he was more liberal, he still ultimately stuck to Catholic teaching. He still kept to traditional beliefs and ultimately was a fairly unifying figure for most Catholics, mostly because he didn’t say too much to ruffle the feathers of anybody.
But if he was anymore liberal, I could easily see people leaving the Church in swathes. Ultimately, a liberal Pope would be more popular with people outside the Catholic Church than a lot of Catholics.
From my non-religious and somewhat socially liberal view, but someone who still wouldn’t wanna see the Church fall apart, it’d probably be better for the Churches survival to have a more traditionalist Pope. People are under the mistaken belief that for a Church to remain relevant, it has to adapt its teachings more and more to modern social values. But Churches, only remain relevant if they’re consistent. Why do people join specific churches? Because of the specific teachings they have, because it means something to be part of that specific Church. If a Church constantly changes its teachings to fit changing social standards, why would anyone join it? Might as well be non-denominational.
ofc the yank cardinal is the fattest bastard
Imagine an American being the king of a small, European country. No thank you. I’m hoping for the Ghana guy. It would piss of the American right, and the pope has no influence over my life in the slightest
I vote Erdő so every designer will have a job for years adjusting systems for ő (U+0151).
I love how here “conservative” basically means they hate the gays
As we live in the worst timeline, I await the Arrival of Pope Raymond Burke.
I am a pretty conservative catholic and I from these options the cardinal from Ghana looks like a decent option. A moderate pope is the way to go, I think a progressive pope would move more people away from Catholicism than he would bring.
🇵🇭 Gotta be Philippines. Very Catholic country, it’s about time they had a pope, plus they’re threatened by China which doesn’t exactly get along well with the Vatican. This could work like the appointment of JP2 but in south-east Asia, bolster national morale, act to contain Chinese aggression, and give confidence and recognition to catholics not just in the Philippines but all across south east Asia. Religiously he’s a continuity candidate so all good there. Cardinal Tagle ftw

We never send our best to PIGS territory.
If it‘s going to be the Savage, we know why JD pisspants was there
I wonder if Conclave will have a surge of watches starting today
Am I the only one who thought Raymond Leo Burke is American even before looking at the flag?
As always, it won’t be any of them.
I think the only one in the last popes who was expected was Ratzinger.
So that’s why JD Vance was there
The Sri Lankan cardinal only wants boys bending over at the altar.
I’m no Christian but, the one “against refugee acceptance”… had he read his own book?
Not the green ones. DEFINITELY not the yankee.
It’s probably gonna be an Italian pope this time.
A Filipino pope would be wild and therefore the one I want
