Will (Anders Arborelius) be the next pope?

General

I wish prayers on Pope Francis. His view on humanity and such is commendable.

But i hear from people that Anders Arborelius is likely to be the next pope. Or is that just rumors?

Cardinal Robert Sarah would be an answer to my Prayers, but God sees more than I do. Now if we can get the Cardinals to listen to Him and not to their own desires, then I would have more faith in the process.

It’s the Holy Spirit that will choose the next Pope…do you really think God would let us fallen humans make that critical choice?

How does one know what God picks? Is it up to top officials in the Vatican?

The Cardinals all vote on whom will be the next Pope. They need a 2/3 vote. If they do not get 2/3, then they vote again until someone gets over the 2/3 threshold. Then they burn their ballots and White smoke comes out the chimney, signaling that we have a new Pope.

There are rules. They are not allowed to campaign for Pope and they cannot meet in secret nor rally votes for anyone. If they do this, then the election of the Pope could be invalid.

The goal is that each Cardinal Prayerfully discerns whom the next Pope should be.

Here is an analogy. Imagine all the Cardinals are rowers in a boat and the Holy Ghost is instructing them when to row to steer the boat to where God wills the boat to be. If some of the Cardinals are not in since with the Holy Spirit and are rowing on their own will, then the boat could veer off. If multiple rowers organize to purposely veer the ship off course, then this would be worse.

But, I have hope that God will eventually get enough rowers in sync to steer the Church in the right direction. It might not happen any time soon, as Francis has stacked the Conclave with rowers who share his agenda, where we need rowers who care about both mercy and protecting truth.

My Prayer is that every Cardinal puts their will aside and truly listen for what the Holy Ghost desires.

Peace to all,

Predicting who will become the next Pope is a complex matter, but Cardinal Matteo Zuppi is considered a strong contender. Here’s a breakdown of factors contributing to his potential:

What are the chances?

  • Alignment with Pope Francis’s Vision:

    • Cardinal Zuppi is seen as a progressive figure who aligns with Pope Francis’s emphasis on pastoral care, inclusivity, and social justice.
    • His work in interfaith dialogue, migration issues, and peace efforts resonates with the current papal direction.

  • Vatican Experience and Trust:

    • As President of the Italian Episcopal Conference and a close collaborator with Pope Francis, he possesses deep experience within Vatican structures.

  • Cardinal Arborelius’s Perspective:

    • He has stated in interviews that he does not expect to be elected.
    • He has also expressed a desire to return to his monastery.

  • His Background:

    • He is Sweden’s first cardinal.
    • He converted to Catholicism in a predominantly Protestant country.
    • He is known to be a staunch defender of church doctrine.

  • Factors to Consider:

    • Papal conclaves are unpredictable.
    • Although he is listed as a possible candidate, his own words indicate he does not believe he will be chosen.

Therefore, while his name is present in discussions about potential successors to Pope Francis, he himself has indicated that it is improbable.

Pietro Parolin, 70, Italy

  • Role:
  • He is the Vatican’s Secretary of State, a very high-ranking position.
  • He is also a member of the Council of Cardinals.
  • Background:
  • He was born on January 17, 1955, in Schiavon, Italy.
  • He has a long history in Vatican diplomacy, having served in various roles and locations, including Nigeria and Venezuela.
  • He has also been involved in very important diplomatic activity, including the Vatican’s relationship with China.
  • Key points:
  • He is seen as a key figure in Pope Francis’s administration.
  • He is very experienced in diplomatic relations.
  • His work includes dealing with complex international relations.

And we see several more active and great contenders, also.

So true Cade_One and The successor of who sits on Moses’ seat in Heaven is Saint Peter and the Handpicked of God is controlled by the Holy Spirit Family One God in being, to me as The Trinity and One Holy Family in being.

To me, what makes the Trinity logical is from three persons in being created from the Father transformed into immortality through the Mother in the New Eve for the Son in the New Adam becoming the Christ in all mankind becoming again incorruptibly glorified and transfigured One Holy Spirit Family One God in being.

And rationally, to me each Personal God of Powers is separately God and each God is equal to God in the Powers of God and together One God in being One Holy Spirit Family.

To men, logically, The three Personal Gods of Powers are From the Father God of Creation through the Mother, God of Immortal Transformation and God of Mercy for the Son Jesus, God of Justice and God of Glorification and Transfiguration for all becoming The Christ through both natures, Spirit and Life, God and Temple becoming again incorruptibly Glorified and Transfigured One Holy Spirit Family One God in being.

True, To me, who sits on the Moses seat on Earth is The Handpicked of God from The Holy Spirit Family.

Sadly and tragically, many men, both then and now , “want to be teachers of the Law, even though they do not understand either what they are saying or the matters about which they make such confident assertions” [1 Tim. 1:7].

True, OMNILogically we don’t to be
wrong in matters on which the
established authorities are right.

Peace always,
Stephen Andrew
