Conjecture is just that! This article provides great insight into what each Cardinal brings to the Conclave. As indicated, there are many issues facing the Church today, each of which will be placed before those with the right to vote.
Call me naive but I truly believe with all my heart that the Conclave is overshadowed by the Holy Spirit who drives the Church of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We can all speculate and I fully anticipate the MSM will devote many hours to the most 'papabile'. Ultimately, it is the Holy Spirit who will rule!
Having been through this experience 4 times, I am constantly amazed at the outcome. This is a time for faith and trust. Karol Wotija surprised the MSM, sending them scrambling for information on his life. Just when we think we "know" who would be the best candidate, we must submit to the Holy Spirit who guides and directs the Church of our Lord, Jesus Christ.
There are several Cardinals whom I feel would be ideal candidates. That is a personal opinion. My faith and trust reside in the guidance of the Holy Spirit. May His will be done!
There is an established person with power in between. So far they have been good people, but they have great influence between Popes and can influence the successor.
I agree we have a great current Pope and can only pray we get the Pope we NEED next as a blessing from God.
