Unfortunately the right would love this guy and use him to further their agenda... This cardinal is SUPER conservative and would pretty much remove and progress made by pope Francis...
Just as a distraction: neither of the last 2 Popes were on the front-runner lists of their Conclave. (Seriously, we don't want that guy. I am too tired of going back to the past.)
I've heard reporting that the majority of Cardinals were appointee by Pope Francis, giving me hope the next Pope will continue his advocacy around immigration, poverty, climate change, accountability, inclusion, etc.
The black guy is the most conservative, he backs anti lgbq policies and is anti marriage equality. That guy will be the darling of the Christo fascists.
Peter Turkson: Fluent in 6 languages, Turkson has held several major positions in the Vatican. Turkson has been outspoken on global concerns such as climate change, poverty, & economic inequality. He has shown a more pastoral tone on issues like homosexuality, particularly during Francis’ papacy.
I was just thinking right after hearing about the Pope's passing yesterday morning that it would be great if the next Pope was a black man and now a black Pope is in the running. How great is that? I hope for humanities sake he is chosen.😆
If anyone other than a European White guy gets the nod, there will be complaints of discrimination. It happened with Pope Francis. But, that's just the image issue. The decision will be a matter of church politics.
It's not like our Senate confirmations :)
I think it's time to have my eyes tested again, I thought the dude on the far right was trump.
Thought 'oh no, he hasn't got time to do that as well as to destroy the US economy'......
The last thing Republicans want is a qualified person in a position of authority. I just hope whoever they pick is the most qualified and the least likely to pander to Republicans biggoted, authoritarian ways.
It is about representation. The majority of Catholics live in Latin America and Europe but it is going down. Africa had shown in the last decades increasing growth. Also in the last 500 years all popes have been European except Francis from Argentina.
My thoughts. We're all human trying to make sense of this impossible world. White people suffer as well. I've had three life times worth and I'm white. Suffering has no colour
Unfortunately there are many Catholics who are extremely racist especially the ones in the US. The bishop of NY is close to DJT. Vance's visit to the Vatican was most likely to influence the next Pope's election.
There’s a guy from east Asia there too.Will Republicans be happy with that?
Thankfully it’s got absolutely nothing to do with Republicans, so they can get lost.
On a similar note, notice just how few East Asians there are in film, TV & advertising? I wonder why that is?Doesn’t get mentioned at all.
They will probably be okay with the black guy. He’s Cardinal Robert Sarah and he’s a very conservative traditionalist Catholic. They would really hate the Asian Cardinal Luis Tagle or the first white guy Pietro Parolin. Both progressives. The other white guy is Peter Erdo a conservative.
"You people"?? Um, no. White person here, and post seems 100% legit to me also knowing everything we know about MAGA head-exploding fragility. Not even a debate. Though also its a MEME = supposed to be briefly amusing in a 2-second span of scroll time on the internet. So maybe chill the fuck out?
“No, you’re just a n***erlover. Also, if you call me racist I will get so offended that you’d never think I claim to be ‘facts over feelings’.” - What this guy will probably say
It will be funny if the black cardinal is selected because, IIRC, he's actually about the most conservative of the cardinals who are thought to be in the running for the Papacy. (There's a second black cardinal from Africa who's of similar cloth, plus one from the Philippines as well).

If their assholes explode, the vast majority of them won't be able to talk.

You wont see the irony.
