I do not dare hope for Raymond Cardinal Burke. He may be the very best among them. As pope, he would leave no one in confusion as to the tenets and truth of the Faith.

Luis Cardinal Tagle seems to be a fine man but he is young (55 years old) and only installed as a cardinal in November, 2012.

Whomever the Holy Spirit prefers among all available has just got to be the best choice whatever my preferences.

God bless you and yours!

P.S. Any word on a successor to Archbishop Mansell who has turned 75?

Right now, because there is no Pope, any new appointments, and if that includes for Hartford Archdiocesse in any way, that will have to wait until a new Pope is elected.

Why I say what I say is that the Holy Spirit is good for surprising folks. I remember that early fall night when Blessed John Paul II was annouced as the new Pope. I am dating myself here.
