homeschoolmom Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I don't think the Holy Spirit would have Ron Paul as one of the three. Are you sure!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnlySunshine Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Personal list of favourite Cardinals to be elected Pope: 1.Burke 2.Llovera 3.Bagnasco 4.Marc Ouellet 5.Ranjith 6.Giovanni Battista Re 7.Arinze 8.Scola 9.Cipriani Thorme 10.Tettemanzi I think I would die of joy if Burke is elected! In April I'll go to Italy and I would love to see him on the Chair of St Peter. I would be so happy if it was Cardinal Burke, too. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhuturePriest Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 I hear there is a cool Asian Cardinal from the Philippines that could possibly get elected. Anyone know his name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darcy15 Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 God forbid! Oh dear! I know nothing whatsoever about the gentleman. Just answering the previous posters question - the BBC have a list of 'contenders'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Oh dear! I know nothing whatsoever about the gentleman. Just answering the previous posters question - the BBC have a list of 'contenders'. Aloysius posted an excellent link showing individual odds for all the papabile. http://www.paddypower.com/bet/current-affairs/pope-betting?ev_oc_grp_ids=1178744 At the very least, it puts all of the serious contenders in one place. :) It appears to be updating regularly as well. Current favourites are, in order, Ouellet, Turkson, Scola, Bertone, and Arinze. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aloysius Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 his association with the Bologna school would signal a turnaround from Benedict's Hermeneutic of Continuity... I'm not sure his reputation is all that deserved, he's certainly not the worst of the Bologna school, but ultimately I think if his association with it had been more well known he likely wouldn't have gotten a red hat to begin with and it's unlikely the cardinals want to give an indication of rupture from the hermeneutic of continuity (haha), though I think since getting the red hat he's actually indicated less of a rupture view of the Conciliar history... but I tend to attribute that to Benedict's gravitational pull, so I'd be wary of him being placed on the throne of Peter himself. of course, sometimes you can never tell by who a cardinal is, I believe Pius IX was a relatively "liberal" cardinal prior to becoming pope.

Aloysius Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 oh man the cardinals should all get together and bet a bunch of money on Bono, and then elect him! they could have the dean hold a gun to all their heads for the vote forcing them to vote for Bono so that after the checks clear they could declare the whole thing invalid. it's brilliant!

Aloysius Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) brilliant! seriously, though, probably about the coolest thing I could ever imagine happening would be for a non-bishop to be elected... some out of the way country priest that was known to be a good holy man, or even a layman somewhere, could you imagine them calling someone like that up on the phone and asking them to come to Rome out of the blue! that'd be something that would captivate the world's imagination. could you imagine the news reports?
