Tagle is candidate for Pope -- PH priest

MANILA, Philippines -- Newly-installed Cardinal Manila Archbishop Luis Antonio Tagle is reportedly among the frontrunners as the next pope. A Filipino priest tells ANC about the selection process and why Tagle may be considered to lead the Catholic Church.

Whether he becomes Pope or not, Cardinal Chito has a special place in my heart. May God bless him!!! May God bless my German Shepherd as well!!!

Pope Benedict XVI is both honest and humble. I do believe he resigned for an important reason, his own health.

Despite his young age. He is a wise man. He is a good candidate to wear the ring ofvthe fisherman

John Paul II was 58 when he became Pope, which is only three years older than Cardinal Tagle. I have no dog in this fight as I am not Catholic, but a young Pope (especially one who appears to be social media savvy as Tagle is) would be highly beneficial.

I am catholic, and I think you are absolutely right!!

I doubt the college of cardinals will elect cardinal Tagle. First because was young at the time of the conclave, second because he is not fluent in Latin (he can speak a little) and third because he is a young looking vibrant Asian man. He doesn't seemed to be a man who can command respect among the princes of the church.

Only our Pope this time do not want to deliver his speech through english. I don't speak and understand latin and spanish.

[@lakandula6729]

[@akoanani]

Naku dalawa ang kandidato ko sa pagiging Pope si Cardinal Tagle at si Cardinal Arinse.........baka isa sa kanila ang magiging Pope pareho ko silang gusto pero sana isa sa kanilang dalawa ang maging....

Cardinal Tagle is modernist. I don't trust modernist clergy. I want a Pope who uphold sacred traditions.
