Who are the candidates to happen to Pope Francis
With deep theological divisions and an increasingly global Catholic church, The next conclave could mark the most dramatic change of power in the modern history of the Church. As indicated by the phrase “He who enters the conclave as Pope, leaves as a cardinal”, offering a list of candidates to the throne of San Pedro is more a game of chance, than certain chances of choice.
However, in recent years three internal currents of the Church were emerging leaders, possible successors of Pope Francis.
- The establishment: They are candidates deeply rooted in the curia, Roman networks and with ability to maintain stability. In this, the ones that have the most possibilities are the Italians Pietro Parolin and Matteo Zuppi, two cardinals with true power in the church, although Péter Erdö and Mario Grech also appear.
- The reformers: They are progressive cardinals with Franciscan vision. They are aligned with Francisco’s reforms: decentralization, social justice and pastoral closeness. This group includes Luis Antonio Tagle, Jean-Marc Aveline, Wilton D. Gregory and Fridolin Ambongo.
- The traditionalists: They are anti-Francisco and conservative cardinals. They are blessed by Benedict XVI, enemies of progressivism, ultraconservatives and defenders of the “ancient church.” Here are Roberto Sarah, Raymond Leo Burke, Willem Jacobus Eijk, Carlo Maria Polvani.
