A great joy! This is a very balanced choice of the cardinals (of the 2 top names shared by a colleague in Rome yesterday). A choice to cultivate the legacy of pope Francis and to appease tensions inside the curia and with the US. Leo is young (69), this indicates a firm choice of the cardinals

The conclave is not a horse race based on competition, nor irrational-obscure red magic, and not Alice in wonderland surrounded by care bears. In a synodal Church, this 2-3 week transition of power between 2 popes is a collective, rational & religious election to reveal the one with the most...

A Korean colleague was surprised that only cardinals below 80 can vote. For some1 coming from a rapidly aging society in which democracy is increasingly influenced by old citizens, the conclave helps to think about the resilience of democracy. Indeed, the papacy inspires institutional thinking!

Friendship: keys of the apartment of a non-Catholic Chinese friend. It's been more than 10 years since I have these keys. Every time I pass by this vast Chinese city, I can just go to his apartment and sleep there. And yes, this kind of friendship colors the (non sectarian) way I look at China
