I have no idea who is in the running, but it seems time for them to choose a black pope.

We all want Cardinal Péter Erdő to be the next Pope.
Matteo Zuppi would be good.
Luis Antonio Tagle would not be good.
It is a nail biter!
Anybody!!
A tranny Satan?
Here are the front runners:
* Luis Antonio Tagle (Philippines)
Currently the betting favorite at 3:1 odds, Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, 67, is considered a strong contender to continue Pope Francis’s progressive agenda. Tagle, an advocate for inclusion and evangelization, has significant experience leading the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples and was a trusted figure in Francis’s inner circle.
Overall, I think the fact that by my count over 100 of the eligible papal electors were appointed by Francis could have a profound effect on the outcome,” said Cristina Traina, a professor at Northwestern University. “That is, we may not get a pendulum swing away from Francis’ priorities.”
Tagle’s Asian heritage also makes him a compelling choice, as Catholicism is growing rapidly on the continent, particularly in the Philippines, one of the most populous Catholic countries in the world.
If elected, Tagle would be the first pope fluent in English, which could enhance his ability to connect with diverse congregations worldwide.
* Pietro Parolin (Italy)
At 4:1 odds, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, 70, is one of the most experienced Vatican officials. In his role as the Vatican’s Secretary of State since 2013, he has played a major part in diplomatic affairs, including sensitive negotiations with China and Middle Eastern governments.
Parolin is seen as a moderate theological candidate, someone who could provide stability while still maintaining some of Francis’s reforms. His deep ties to Vatican bureaucracy make him a strong contender for those who favor continuity.
* Peter Turkson (Ghana)
Currently at 5:1 odds in betting markets, Cardinal Peter Turkson, 76, is a well-known figure in the Church’s social justice circles. As former head of the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, Turkson has been vocal on issues such as climate change, poverty and economic justice.
Turkson’s election would mark a historic moment as the first African pope in centuries. The most recent African pontiff was Pope Gelasius, who served from 492 to 496 AD. Born in Rome to African parents, Gelasius was known for his extensive theological writings and strong advocacy for charity and justice for the poor.
* Peter Erdő (Hungary)
A leading conservative candidate, Cardinal Peter Erdő, 72, is currently at 6:1 odds. A respected canon law scholar, Erdő has been a strong advocate for traditional Catholic teachings and doctrine. He previously served as head of the Council of European Bishops’ Conferences and has emphasized theological orthodoxy.
For those seeking a return to the conservatism of John Paul II and Benedict XVI, Erdő would represent a major shift away from Francis’s approach.

If it’s going to be an African, it should be Cardinal Sarah, not Cardinal Turkson.
Kilmar Abrego Garcia?
I don't know him... but would this give us "Peter the Great" from the prophecy of Malachi?
Khalil Mahmoud Abdul Skyhook?
(We all want Cardinal Péter Erdő to be the next Pope.)
He’s an ally of traditional Catholic values, Erdő has previously resisted pressure to liberalize the Church’s stance on communion for divorced couples and has drawn praise for defending Europe’s Christian roots. Viewed as pragmatic and diplomatically competent, he’s also fluent in multiple languages—a bridge builder without compromising the truth.
(Matteo Zuppi would be good.)
Zuppi has downplayed Church sex abuse scandals in Italy while pushing for interfaith compromise and cultural relativism. Conservatives view him as a walking extension of the current leftist Vatican regime.
LOL. So much for that champion of social justice bullshizzit. Meet the new pedophile! Same as the old pedophile!
Did anyone see Francis as a front runner going into the last conclave?
No rollback of Vatican II destruction. All cardinals are leftists.
No halfway efforts. Time for full DEI - a Black lesbian pope. Go all in.
