Seatbelt Blue Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I think Ravasi or Ouellet is most likely. My heart belongs to Sean O'Malley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seatbelt Blue Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I'll be honest. I think O'Malley has a good shot at winning because, in my opinion, he possesses the essential qualities needed, and any conclave seriously considering the Church would have to give him a real solid look. That said, there are *other* cardinals with equal virtues who would do very well in the position, and while I believe O'Malley would be excellent, I can't say he's the only one who would be. My great hope is that it's not an Italian. Josh J. and hwrios 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aud Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 I don't have a prediction but I'd vote Tagle if I could. I think he's in a good position to make the Church truly global. Schonborn would be my 2nd choice, though O'Malley's pretty good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seatbelt Blue Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 In order of likelihood: 1) Ravasi 2) Ouellet 3) Schoenborn 4) Scherer 5) O'Malley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seatbelt Blue Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 (edited) Black smoke. I'm assuming the Busey candidacy has fallen through. Edited March 12, 2013 by Seatbelt Blue Body Politics 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seatbelt Blue Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 Cardinal Busey had a good run. Don't feel bad. It's hard to get 77 votes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
