I wouldn't go that far but I think had the Pope excommunicated every cardinal, bishop and other high ranking clergy in the church that took part in the scandal AND allow priests to marry AND allow women to serve as priests it might be viewed as trying to fix the problem. Instead he just gives it lip service.

Organized crime group. Bust 'em up.
How does 10,000, or any number of people, not believing in an imaginary friend in the sky do damage to humanity exactly?
I'm going with "other".
Well at least it is not the same level of naughty as turning his back on abuse through the years. Should we consider this progress?
The vast majority of current cardinals were appointed by Francis. Only four JPII appointments remain eligible to vote because cardinals lose voting rights on their 80th birthday. One of the JPII cardinals Vinko Puljic of Sarajevo will run the conclave if it begins before September.
The percentage of voting European cardinals is the lowest in history (38%) but they still represent the largest continental contingent.
14 cardinals will no longer be electors at the end of 2025
Upon reaching the age of 80, cardinals lose their right to participate in a conclave to elect the pope. The college of cardinals usually includes 120 electors.aleteia.org

I'm still bitter about losing $100 betting on the conclave that produced Benedict. I thought Cardinal Arinze was a shoo-in.
Pope Pier Pizzaballa has a nice ring to it.The vast majority of current cardinals were appointed by Francis.

Cardinal Pizzaballa could be your redemption this time

Hold on, hold on, hold on. Now wait a gosh darn minute. You were a baller, but now you're a Floppo? You are aware of pills to help that condition. Heck, even some priests are aware of these pills (just bringing back the thread to religion).

Because I’m on vacation and don’t actually know what day it is, I got the date wrong. Tour is tomorrow. Will report back.
I am not a catholic so I can only assume it’s just recognition that he passed. I’m not close enough to hear the Vatican bells but am surrounded by churches.
I was reading something that Pope Francis appointed 80% of the cardinals eligible to vote in the conclave. That includes a lot of cardinals from countries that were not represented before. It is a going to be a really different group this time around from past conclaves.
It's basically a cage match. All cardinals under the age of 80 are sealed in secrecy within the Sistine Chapel. They vote up to 4 times/day until one candidate gets two-thirds of the total vote. If they don't reach 2/3 majority, they burn the ballots and black smoke is emitted from the chapel's chimney. If they reach 2/3 majority, they burn the ballots, and white smoke is released. That's a signal to the world that a new pope has been elected.
Seems like it should be Cardinal Sarah from Guinea. Although almost 70% of the current Cardinal electors were appointed by Francis so that could be a problem
Write to your cardinal. Call his office.
i keep seeing parolin’s name come up. i don’t think pizzaballer nor soups make it ahead of him. the philippines guy is a long shot.
