Do not be surprised if a “global south” cardinal gets elected. It remains to be seen.
...Lingayen-Dagupan Emeritus Archbishop Oscar Cruz on Tuesday said that Tagle had an equal chance like any other cardinal.Tagle also has a Facebook page that looks very popular: https://www.facebook.com/ArchbishopTagle
Also, Cruz did not see Tagle's age as a stumbling block. When John Paul II was elected pope, he was 58 at that time.
Tagle, at 55, is the second youngest member of the College of Cardinals.
He [Tagle] is a very powerful fellow, humble and good. I havent seen him mad, he is always smiling, so I think hes good, Cruz concluded. http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/297070/news/nation/college-of-cardinals-may-be-open-to-tagle-as-next-pope-church-law-professor-says
