Lil'Nun Posted March 4, 2013 Author Share Posted March 4, 2013 Are Any AMERICAN cardinals represented? I would love Cardinal DOLAN! Do they have to be able to speak 5 languages? I think all Cardinals are represented. But you are allocated a Cardinal at random. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally Franciscan Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 My cardinal is Francesco Monterisi from Italy, Archpriest Emeritus of the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls.

PhuturePriest Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Are Any AMERICAN cardinals represented? I would love Cardinal DOLAN! Do they have to be able to speak 5 languages? Cardinal Dolan is not a likely choice. He is first of all American, and Cardinals from major political powers like America are very rarely elected. Secondly, he's new. And finally, he doesn't speak any other languages. We need the Pope to be able to speak many different languages because the Church truly is universal. It didn't used to be this way, but because Pope John Paul II and Pope Benedict XVI were fluent in so many languages that has made a shift in the role of the papacy. I would be utterly shocked if he was elected considering these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnlySunshine Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 (edited) I chose mine when this was on Open Mic. I got Kazimierz Cardinal Nycz -- Archbishop of Warsaw, Poland. I thought it was very neat how he was ordained to the transitional diaconate by Pope John Paul II, especially since JPII is my patron saint of the year. :) Edited March 6, 2013 by MaterMisericordiae Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feankie Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I beg to differ about Cardinal Dolan:) He was my Archbishop and yes he IS fluent in several other languages. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
