Who are the candidates to replace Pope Francis?
Pope Francis passed away early Monday morning, and a day after his Easter sermon, thousands of people helped in St. Peter’s Square.
For many, Francisco – for more than 1,200 years, a non -European Pope – has been considered a reformer. A label not used for its predecessor Benedict XVI, its real name is Joseph Ratzinger.
On April 19, 2005, Rodsinger, the German Pope, made history when he volunteered to resign. After his resignation, he lived an isolated life at the Matter Eclessia Monastery in the Vatican Gardens until he died in 2022.
Ten years after his resignation, Francis described Ratzinger as a “classic and tender person.” Chancellor Olaf Sholes called him a “creation figure” in the church, a “war personality and a wise theology”.
However, Ratzinger’s bonfigate is not controversial. Unlike Francis, he opposed the modernization of the church, followed by the footsteps of the previous pope, which was very criticized for him.
His order was opened due to the abuse scandal. When he was the Archbishop of Munik and Freesburg, he was blamed for misconduct in the treatment of abuse cases, which drove the Catholic Church in a crisis.
What is the following?
After the nine -day mourning and the funeral of Francisco, the so -called novel, the Catholic Church will organize the next conference. The mysterious process that is not open to the public will take place at the Sistine Chapper in Rome.
Here, the Cardinals will meet the college to select the next leader of the church. The rules, which are in effect from January 22, 2025, states that there are 138 voters for a total of 252 cardinals. Only those under the age of 80 can participate in a secret study.
Four daily voting rounds are made until the cardinal receives two -thirds of the votes. The process usually lasts 15 to 20 days. There were no rules for the period of a convention: in 1939, the selected Pope Pius XII only lasted a day. In 1268, a record of Viterbow, Italy lasted nine years.
Pope Francis was elected after five studies in two days, after four studies, Benedict XVI.
The Catholic Church is without a Supreme Leader until a new Pope is elected, and the Cardinian College must collectively accept the affairs of the Church during this period.
Who are the candidates?
There are three German Cardinals to attend the conference in Rome: Cardinal Hegart Ludwick Mueller, Munic Cardinal Rainheart Marx and Colony Cardinal Rainer Maria Volki.
The trio are not considered a papa, that is, the candidates for the Pope. However, the process has not yet been completed. The Cardinal Marx of Munik, a pioneer who worked closely with Pope Francis, may have been considered a candidate until a few years ago.
71 -year -old man was one of the most powerful clergy of the European church, but the way he considered sexual abuse cases attracted criticism from experts. In 2021, he resigned from the post of Archbishop and free of charge to Francis who refused.
Cardinal Peter Erdo
Archbishop of Budapest and Hungary Primett, 72, 72, 2005 and 2011, was elected twice as chairman of the European Episcopal Conference Council, which claims to enjoy the honor of European cardinals that make up the largest voters.
AdvertisementIn this standard, Erdo is aware of many African cardinals because the congregation organizes regular sessions with African epic conferences.
Cartiel Rainheart Marks
In the year 71, the former president of the German Episcopal Conference Marx, he was the strongest defender of the controversial “Cynodal Way” conversation process in the German church, which began in 2020 in response to the corruption scandal.
For this reason, conservatives are skeptical of this process as a threat to the unity of the Church, as it includes the debate of issues such as celibacy, homosexuality and sorting women.
Marx published headlines in 2021 when he came forward to resign from the post of Archbishop for the terrible history of abusing the German church, but Francis asked him to reject the resignation.

Olette, 80, from Canada, led the Vatican’s influential Eposcopic office for more than a decade, supervising the main selection center of the possible candidates to lead the dioceses around the world.
Francisco maintained or ordered until 2023, and he was appointed by Pope Benedict XVI, helping the German papal to select most theoretical bishops.
Ovelett, who is considered more conservative than Francis, chose the bishops with the pastor to reflect the belief of the Pope Francis that the bishops should “smell” of his flock.
Cardinal Beiatro Parolin
The 70 -year -old Barolin from Italy has been the state secretary of the Francisco since 2014 and is considered one of the main candidates of Papa who gave her importance in Catholic sequence.
AdvertisementHolly Sevin was involved in the controversial agreement with China on the appointment of bishops with China, but in London a real estate was not accused of failure in the Vatican investment in London, which led to another cardinal and nine tests from another.
Former Ambassador in Venezuela is well aware of the Latin American Church of Parolin. It is a continuation of Francis’s tradition, but as a very relaxed and shy diplomat, St. John Paul II (Poland), Benedict XVI (Germany) and Francisco (Argentina) returns an Italian.
Cartiel Robert Brevost
The idea of an American pope was a long time, considering the geopolitical force already used by the United States. But the 69 -year -old Prevost was born in Chicago.
In Peru, he has a vast experience as a missionary first and then a Archbishop, and is currently the mighty ticker for the bishops of the Vatican and should be responsible for checking the suggestions for bishops around the world.
AdvertisementFrancisco has been watching him for many years, and in 2014, Peru sent him to run the Diocese of Peru.
Until 2023, he occupied this position, and Francis brought him to his current role to Rome.
Cardinal Robert Sarah
Sarah, 79, from Guinea, a retired leader of the Vatican Worship Office, has long been considered the best hope of an African Pope.
Sarah, who is admired by conservatives, will return to the theoretical and worship of John Paul and Pento.
AdvertisementIn many cases with the Vatican’s charity, Color Yunum, on many occasions with the Pope Francis, it was no more serious than the co -editors of a book that defended the “need” to continue the celibacy for the priests of the Latin ritual.
The book was published when Francis was considering the opportunity to allow priests to face the shortage of priests in the country, with the presence of married priests on Amazon.
Cartiel Christoff Shoeborn
Shoeborn, the Archbishop of Vienna, Austria’s Archbishop, was a student of Pope Benedict XVI, so paper seems to have theoretical academic qualities to attract conservatives.
However, he is associated with the most controversial movements of the Pope Francis in the re -creation of the Cadolicians as “organic development of theory” as a “organic development of doctrine”, which is not the gap that some conservatives preserved.
AdvertisementShoeborn’s parents divorced when they were a young man, so the question is personal.
He was also the goal of Vatican’s criticism when he criticized Vienna’s Archbishop, including his forerunner, refusing to allow high -sex abuses.
Cardinal Louis Takle
The 67 -year -old Takle, a native of the Philippines, seems to be the choice of Pope Francis for the first Asian Pope.
Francis brought the famous Archbishop from Manila to Rome to run the Vatican Missionary Gospel Office, serving the needs of the Catholic Church in most parts of Asia and Africa.
AdvertisementThe role of the Francisco Vatican renewed the bureaucracy of the Vatican and increased the importance of his evangelist office.
Tagl often quotes his Chinese lineage – his maternal grandmother was part of a Chinese family who went to the Philippines – and is known to be happy when he talks about her childhood.
