I’ve been calling attention to him ever since the day that Benedict announced he was going to resign. The only problem I can see is that I don’t know if he has the “capital” to carry out the Augean purging of the Curia that needs to be done. They might dismiss him as a naive Third Worlder. He may have too many enemies from his time in the Curia.
On the other hand, if he has solid enough backing from the College of Cardinals, from influential members, perhaps he’d be the very one to step on toes and shake things up.
If he’s chosen it will be a long shot and, in my view, clearly the work of the HOly Spirit.
You saw it here first.
No, I was first LOL
