Back with another installment of this video that surely won't be as successful as the original or the sequel, but probably of a better quality.
Tl;dw - (10) most likely: Cardinal Schonborn, Cardinal Sarah, Cardinal Scherer, Cardinal Retes, Cardinal Brenes, Cardinal Ranjith, Cardinal Turkson, Cardinal Erdo, Cardinal Parolin, Cardinal Tagle. Order is incidental, there is no internal hierarchy among the selected 10.

Cardinal Tagle’s missions are what our world and people need right now. This era is the right time for him to be the next pope…

[@DomZerchi]

Can you elaborate on what Cardinal Tagle's mission is and how it would set him apart from his brother Cardinals?

[@valeriebalzan7619]

Tagle is another pope francis but lacks experience

[@mcea3852]

@@DomZerchi I don’t say he is greater than other cardinals. But Cardinal Tagle is committed to evangelization, aiming to spread the teachings of Christianity and promote faith. His mission includes fostering a deeper understanding of Catholic principles, social justice, and compassion, seeking to engage people in a meaningful spiritual journey. He has a theological acumen and a pastoral approach. He has an engagement with the broader global Catholic community. He has been involved in various international organizations, gatherings, and discussions within the Catholic Church. His experiences showcase a diverse understanding of the Church's challenges and opportunities.

[@johnricobayot4502]

Another motherhood statement in support of a charismatic figure, brother. Cardinal Tagle's methodology, if there is any, is not what the Church needs now after the Pontificate of Pope Francis. The Church having more "liberal" leanings isn't what the church needs.

Which Pope wasn’t a staunch believer in Catholic teachings? By definition the Pope is the one who has the most accurate interpretation of catholic teachings when speaking ex Cathedra, so unless the cardinals consider voting a Protestant in I really don’t get the necessity of your comment 🧐

I think that a traditionalist Pope is needed. Even in the secularizing world we see that tradition prospers among the youth (SSPX, FSSP, Chartres Pilgrimage...). The Church needs to strenghten its teachings, not water them down. We do not follow the ways of the world. I hope that Peter Erdo will be the next Pope.

[@luisv.1507]

Why didn't you mention Cardinals Zuppi and Grech? I think they would have a good chance because of being close to the pope and playing a big role in synod of bishops.

[@DomZerchi]

Both of these men suffer from what I would call "being too young". Proximity to the Pope or the Synod does not necessarily correlate to a higher outcome unless the expressed reason is that the Cardinals liked them or the work they did. The age for me is the big reason.

[@JPGiardina]

Zuppi is a commie like Francis.

[@jeannehall6546]

Who are they?

[@minui8758]

Cardinal Tagle all the way for me! I heard him speak in person once about the church being the parent of all the broken and lonely, and the need for sincere priests who love and would die for their people. It was such an astonishingly moving proclamation of the gospel I couldn’t help crying. This is the kindly gospel zeal and sincerity that our church needs and in whom the world will see sincerity. Literally everything he says is astoundingly heart stirring to a degree I don’t think Benedict or Francis have often reached. Tagle will be another John Paul in charisma. What’s amazing is he can do it in spite of English being a third language

[@DomZerchi]

I think it is neat that you've been able to connect in such a deep way, and I also appreciate that you've framed this as being your personal pick. Thank you for your insight!

Watch Luc Terlinden (54) from Belgium in the long run. He was promoted from diocesan priest to archbishop and president of the bishops conference in Belgium. He’s smart as a whip, an excellent theologian and has extensive experience with youth pastoral. He was ordained priest bij Danneels, one of the members of Sankt Gallen Group who campaigned for card. Bergoglio to become pope. The primate of Belgium has almost always been a cardinal and I hope pope Francis gives him the red.

[@DomZerchi]

Pope Francis hasn't shyed away away from not giving traditionally Cardinalatial sees a Red Hat. As long as he is without Cardinal Status, it is a really long shot.

[@peterpluim7912]

@@DomZerchi You are obviously a lot more knowledgeable than me and two cardinals with voting rights for a small country like Belgium feels excessive. That being said, the church here is in turmoil with the unfinished business from bishop RogerVangheluwe and Terlinden will need all authority to sustain the faithful and calm down the politicians who are out for blood because Vangheluwe is still a bishop. It will be very interesting to see how 2024 will unfold. That being said: Terlinden is someone very special. It is the first time I have the feeling we have an archbishop and president of the bishops conference who is both energetic, smart and a great leader. He has a lot of the young JP II in him.

[@nunagoras]

Nice analysis. Permit me just 2 additions to the list of the most likely and a final note that would matter to the subject: The ones I believe will also to be also on the "poll position" to the next Papacy are Portuguese Cardinal Tolentino de Mendonça, now a Vatican official, a poet, a man of culture, a huge and complex theologian and Singapore Cardinal William Goh, another from the Charismatics, because Asia is the world's area where Catholicism is growing faster. The final notes: First of its all; all will depend on how much time Pope Francis actually lives or decides to stay at work. For now, and unless he eventually passes away, there is nothing supporting the idea that Pope Francis wants to retire on the next times to come. It is pretty much clear that he wants to finish the Synod and at least to do the whole "Holly Year 2025", making some more Cardinals in the mean time. On the other hand, we now on at least the 3rd Pope in row that had a long time of relatively fragile health before their Papacies have ended. The Church will need a clearly younger Pope that perhaps will end up leaving the Papacy at 80 or such. Pope Benedict has opened a door that should not be closed again for decades. The Papacy would be seen as a temporary office as many others in this so media centered world!...

[@DomZerchi]

The Problem I have with your analysis for your proposed candidates is that I don't see what sets them apart as being more uniquely likely to the College of Cardinals to be picked. I also don't think old men becoming old and frail towards the end of their Papacy is necessarily a problem, and I'm generally opposed to Papal Abdications.

[@nunagoras]

@@DomZerchi Obviously a very valid opinion, sir! Papal abdications have come to stay, unless Pope Francis passes away in the mean time. That's not a question of one's being in favor or not. I believe nobody in the Vatican wants more of the same that we had on final JP2 days. That's is a typical modern public relations sort of thing than anything else. Very fragile extremely old human final days are to be as quiet as it can be, even for a Pope. That said: If only the European Cardinals would vote, I'm quite confident Cardinal Tolentino would have basically all the votes, apart the 2 or 3 still electable German traditionalists, but this Papacy brought such an unique feature that pretty much every other Cardinal would wish to retain for the future, especially the ones that came with said feature: Pope Francis elevated Cardinals from literally the "nowhere"! Those Cardinals from the "nowhere" will likely to join in a block to just grant that the next Pope doesn't forget them and continues pushing for Cardinals from their like minded set. No matter what, this is human nature in the works, like it or not... So, here there is Cardinal Goh or Tagle, the 2 most prominent among the Asians. That brings the high possibility of an Asian Pope. Oh: And they need someone above and beyond the current western culture wars! Whom better than an Asian for that?...

[@francis87589]

You mentioned serious information without clarifying it. Like when you said “ the controversy of Cardinal Tagle in Caritas”. What is the controversy. It is unfair to say that in public space without giving us details that we can use to verify it.

[@DomZerchi]

Fair enough. Obviously I cannot comprehensively cover everything in a video. At the time, the most of my knowledge was that my Diocese had suspended donations temporarily and that there were some instances of corruption. From my current view, it appears as though these were mostly without Cardinal Tagle's knowledge.

The list goes on. This is what being modern and progressive means in actuality. A distortion of the Truth.

Great video- my only input is that this is all likely correct, but it’s also likely the college of cardinals doesn’t get the chance to post a single vote without God himself casting the Holy Spirit onto everyone and personally and publicly ordaining the “Angelic Pontiff” himself. Titled ‘The Great Prince’ from the book of Daniel, and also known as the Comforter prophecied of by Christ himself

[@DomZerchi]

I find that your supposition is extremely not likely. Having never heard of the "Angelic Pontiff" outside of Pius XII, I find your interpretation of Biblical prophecy in reference to Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit to be a bit disconcerting.

[@TheArmchairPriest]

@@DomZerchi I’ve seen this exact response given before- it’s a response that’s understandable but the angelic pontiff’s origins don’t lie in the words of any pope let alone pius the twelfth. It’s a title created later but given to a figure that’s been prophecied time and time again since the Christ himself was prophesied. A person ordained by God himself who comes in Christ’s name.

Just Google father bishop Godfrey ibuikwe Onah from Nigeria (Nsuka diocese). The lord has already anointed him for the greater responsibility for his church I believe. Just listen to his teachings and homilies you will pray for him to lead the Church at the most top position (pope) right now he is 67 years of age, so he is remaining for 12 years to make history come true. A pope from Nigeria.

[@jeffreyerwin3665]

If, by some miracle St. Peter were to become the next Pope, would he be liberal or conservative?

[@jeffreyerwin3665]

My guess would be: "neither." He would unencumbered by 2000 years of Christian theology and, therefore, would be unacceptable to most Christians. they would call him the anti-Christ. You can see this innuendo floating around the internet already.

Why can't an American cardinal be elected?

[@DomZerchi]

It would be highly unlikely due to, in my opinion, the United States being the sole world superpower and the lack of desire to place both Spiritual and Temporal power in the same hands, so to speak.

Thank you for this very interesting video. I’m personally hoping for someone to continue the work of His Holiness Pope Francis, on climate change, compassion for refugees, embracing the poor and downtrodden, and opening up the Church to those who have historically been stigmatised.

[@user-rg9yz5ou4y]

You persistently mispronounce the word "cardinal as" "colonel" when discussing specific cardinals who may be "papapile." Not when discussing "cardineals" in general. You need someone to monitor and correct your elecution.

[@DomZerchi]

Elocution, and I'm pretty sure my pronunciation of Cardinal was just fine, though I've heard my pronunciation of Pontifical was lacking. Whatever.

It is the spurious version of Wion's papal prophecies that was shortened to just 112 predictions. Florilegium Insulae Sanctorum, Messingham, 1624, pgs. 377-378.@@DomZerchi

[@jeffreyerwin3665]

A 1595 prediction says that the next pope will be the last, and then judgement day will take place. The last pope is described as "Peter of Rome, who will feed his sheep. . ." That might mean St. Peter. An old Christian idea is that St. Peter will return as the last pope of the Catholic Church. The prediction for Pope Francis is, "He will reign in the final persecution.of the Holy Roman Church." If some kind of human caused disaster befalls the Catholic Church during Francis' papacy, then this prophecy of 1595 becomes validated.

[@DomZerchi]

Pope Francis will not be the last Pope.

[@jeffreyerwin3665]

Yeah, that is what I said. the next pope is the last one............@@DomZerchi

[@DomZerchi]

@@jeffreyerwin3665 I have pretty strong odds that he won't be, considering the words of a non- approved supposed private revelation.

[@jeffreyerwin3665]

Approved by the Catholic Church for publication in 1595 and has never been either condemned or disavowed by that Church. When correctly translated, the prediction for Pope Francis is: "He will reign in the final persecution.of the Holy Roman Church." That prediction can be defined as some terrible human caused disaster that befalls the Catholic Church. At the present time we cannot say for sure that Fr. Wion's Prophecy of the Popes is a valid prophecy. However, if this unlikey prediction for Pope Francis should be fufilled, then the prophecy's prediction about the next pope will have to be taken seriously. @@DomZerchi
