Burke or Schneider, really, either one would be a dream come true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancilla Domini Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Burke would make a fantastic pope. (Aaand...here's another reason he should be the next Pope.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Ranjith is also entirely on par with Burke and Schneider. Really excellent guy - a faithful prince of the Church. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

truthfinder Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 Ranjith is also entirely on par with Burke and Schneider. Really excellent guy - a faithful prince of the Church. Ranjith is excellent too. And since he is currently in a diocese, no one could say he wasn't the pastoral sort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ash Wednesday Posted September 8, 2014 Share Posted September 8, 2014 The title of the article seems slightly misleading (or maybe I'm just tired) because it seems to me that he's dismantling the way people twisted the pope's words around, rather than the actual statement in itself. Either way -- I don't always follow the ins and outs of the clergy, but Burke always struck me as being someone who isn't afraid to tell it like it is and call it as he sees it in a clear and concise way, regardless of whether or not it's a popular opinion. I love that about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccountDeleted Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I wanted Cardinal Ouellet for the last papal election but was happy with Francis. If Francis dies or steps down, I want Ouellet again but he will be 80 in 2024, so I'm not holding my breath that it will happen. I met him in Edmonton when he spent a week at our convent. I really liked his homilies and felt a really spiritual presence from him. But we can all dream about our favorites, can't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you honestly think Pope Francis will remain Pope for more than seven or eight years? I honestly don't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhuturePriest Posted September 9, 2014 Author Share Posted September 9, 2014 (edited) Fortunately the universe does not run on what you think will happen, but on what God wills! :) I've nowhere said "Man, I hope Pope Francis dies in five years so Burke can be Pope instead." I've simply stated Pope Francis is old so Ouellet might still become Pope. As you have been very fond of saying in your past four posts, only God knows what will happen.

Well, certainly, hypotheticals can be interesting, as long as one always remembers what that famous phatmass poster is so fond of saying... "Only God knows what will happen!" :) Good night fetus. I have to go to sleep now. Compline is a distant memory...... and the Office of Readings will be here all too soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never said it would happen. You were the one making the assumption, because you said Ouelett would be 80 by 2024, therefore he probably won't be Pope, which is assuming Pope Francis will live/remain Pope that long.
