The Cardinalio College, where the future Pope will come out, Francisco diedis formed today by 252 cardinals; of them, only 135 are under 80 years old, which gives them the right to vote in the conclave that chooses the successor of Pope Francis. Of those 135 cardinals who will vote in said conclave, nothing less than 112 have been designated by Pope Franciswhat represents more than 80% of the total. In other words, four out of five cardinals carry their mark, according to New life.
This does not imply that all cardinals who lock themselves in conclave share an identical vision of the Church or the world, or that they are aligned in their criteria to choose the next Pope in the Sistine Chapel.
With his latest designations of the cardinals, Pope Francis not only consolidated his legacy, but I was looking to mold a less tied church to traditional power structures, undoubtedly the next conclave that will choose its successor. Let us not forget, however, the old adage of the Conclaves: «Who enters Pope, Cardinal comes out ».
Of the pools that are appearing in the media there are any of them that, according to Vaticanist reputed, such as Eric FrattiniThey will not be dad. Such is the case of Luis Antonio Tagle (for being the most marked) or the African Robert Sarahfor being one of the most faced with Francisco.
