On a scale of 1-10 where 10 is the most conservative/traditional/principled Catholic, he would easily be a NINE or TEN.

That said, I also agree with a statement from the new Nigerian cardinal who received his red hat in November, 2012, and who said something to the effect that the Holy Spirit has already chosen the next pope and it is the job of the conclave to discover his identity and to vote accordingly. I was doing my daily penance reading the National (anti-)Catholic Reporter on 3/5/13 and discovered the article about the Nigerian cardinal. You might find the article worth reading unlike most of NCReporter's garbage.
God bless you and yours!
