Btw, we need a Woke Pope.

Cardinal Arinze

His time has passed ...is he not over 80 already?

If any of the guys in purple color become Pope then the Catholic church is "finishingly ...finished" 🤔
They definitely won't touch our Ghanian brother...he'd hang some priests🤔

Cruzmaster:
I wish Cardinal Arinze will win. Pope Francis scored more than him the last time. While he came 2nd. This might be his time.

Cardinal Arinze is already 92 years old therefore he is disqualified.

Peter ibe Roma according to Bishop Malachy's prediction.

Wao! I don't know much about the Catholic Church but I remember Cardinal Peter Okpaleke made waves then. 88 years is not too bad.

Thank you for the exposition.

Harrisonwo:
It will likely take lot of grace for him to make it to papacy.

The ones from Ghana hasnt done much works on charity, peace, sacrifice.

The one from congo hasn't done or called the world attention to the war in his domain.

The Philippines cardinal is power hungry and too young which is not what the church want.

The Italian parolin has a scandal to his name which might disqualified him.

Cardinal grech seems reserve and more into administrative role with a more inclusive view which high go down well after the LGBT storm around the late pope.

Cardinal zippo seems the likely successor based on his works (peace, conflict resolution, charity etc), his from Italy, worked closely with the late pope, has no known scandal to his name.

I may be wrong but one thing I'm sure of is that the papacy is coming back to europe

Is that also a prerequisite?

silverkings:
He is the Bishop of Ekwulobia diocese. He's just made a Cardinal 2yrs ago. I doubt he's qualified

The next Pope is predicted to be a black man.

You are welcome

Okpaleke made waves because he wasn't accepted by the ordinance in his cathedral (mbaise) which was a serious case then. He was installed outside his cathedral (which ought not to be so because all bishops and archbishop has to be installed in the diocese n arch except cardinals and popes). He had to resign from the diocese and a new one (ekwulobia) was crafted to accommodate him by the late pope. I believe it was that act of humility that made the late pope elevate him to a cardinal. He is very much eligible to be voted for but he's a new boy on the block against the old experienced hands.
I wholeheartedly support him to be next pope when I heard of his elevation to cardinal but as I said, it will take lots of grace to complete the fairytale story of a rejected bishop turning into a pope who his people will look towards to sherpard them.

The Prelates will decides that ...

Yes. I now remember the story. Where he was the Bishop but never officiated.

Even a one day old cardinal can be voted for if the need arise

Yes

Johnson5258:
A Nigerian is one of the cardinals if I'm not mistaken, Reverend Father Peter Okpaleke.

He is qualified by age, but unfortunately he is not yet a cardinal bishop therefore not eligible.

How did you know he came 2nd ?

Odewaleadesoye:


ALJAZEERA

If they will play by the books, then I'd say Cardinal Robert Sarah.

OMBIIGA:
His Lordship Cardinal Arinze is way to old for the popalcy. He is 92.

He was not considered even when he was of age, how much more now?

He is the last pope.

Hemanwel:
Cardinal Arinze nko?

he is 92 years old so above d age limit

Black smoke signals that no decision has been made, while white smoke means a new pope has been elected.

They must put negative on the black.


An Italian on the list? Forget about it. They're keeping it home this time around.

Finquas:
Cardinal Arinze is the next Pope

He cannot because he is way beyound 80 years old. He is currently 92 as at 2025

OMBIIGA:
His Lordship Cardinal Arinze is way to old for the popalcy. He is 92.

Wow, is he upto that?

Oohh

yerima21:

I guess u are not a Catholic

Cruzmaster:

The conclave is secret. We are only told the name of the elected pope and nobody knows who came 2nd or 3rd.
Francis cardinal Arinze was one of the cardinals favoured by those who wanted a change and inclusiveness but we were never told he came 2nd to Pope Francis after the election that's why i want to know your source of information. How did you get the election results ?

[/quote]Osilike Automation You are not very correct that bishops cannot be installed outside their cathedral. Late Bishop Emmanuel Otteh from Awkuzu was the bishop of Issele Ukwu diocese. Late Bishop Gbuji of Issele Ukwu diocese was the bishop of Enugu diocese. Late Bishop Ezeanya of Nnobi was the bishop of Aba diocese. Arch Bishop Okojie is from Edo State. The list is endless. Ahiara priests rejected Okpalaeke because the diocese can boast of over 500 priests who are eminently qualified to lead the diocese as a bishop. I agree with them on that.
