“There is a cultural war in the Vatican,” experts are considering flavor

he Pope Francisco He died on Easter Monday At the age of 88. On Saturday, April 26, he was buried in Bazilica Santa Maria, not the mayor, after a funeral in the Vatican attended by world leaders and hundreds of thousands of believers. On the eve The beginning of the flavor“Eurono” asks the clergy and experts about the potential favorite of the papal position.
A cultural war in the Vatican
According to the historian and professor, the Prediction Arcadius Stempine, the Catholic Church, including its headquarters, is directly involved in Cultural War. The professor said in an interview with “Euronews” that this will be reflected in the choice of the successor of Francisco.
“A cultural war between Liberal democracy forces and Popular Forces That praises authoritarian principles. This war is currently happening in The Vatican Micro -ExplisionThis is, in that sand that it decides at this time to choose the Pope. “
Therefore, can we conclude from this who has more opportunities to become the new Bishop of Rome? According to Professor Stemben, the most hostile Caralades This is shown by Francisco on the side of that It is not the conservatives who will have the greatest impact In the choice of the new church.
“The account helps us a little, because it indicates that a person represents these popular forces in the world and between Cardinal College belongs to this conservative and traditional factionThis faction is unable to choose its candidate that it will be accepted by the other side, that is, the liberals and the majority of the center, “the teacher adds.” In my opinion, it is impossible to choose either to (Cardinal) Robert Sarah, nor Cardinal Ludwig Muller, and Raymond Liu Burke, that is, to that Cardinal that embodies traditional tyranny.
Softness to Pontificate Organized
According to Professor Stempine, The church will have to take the middle roadBetting on cardinal with views that take into account the sensitivities of both the liberal side -Vision Francisco -such as conservative leakage.
“This leaves this Central Group Relatively large, in terms of the world and pastoral vision, is closer to Pope Francis, but they are able to reach the conservative field. This is where names such as Cardinal come out ParolinAnd, which reflects a certain conversion within the Cardinal circle for less spontaneous, not Latin, i.e. Pontificate commandMore consistent, more consistent. In fact, this is the more embodiment of the Europeans, and certainly the Italians, “says Stebine.
You can leave the thesis that people love cardinal or cardinal Mario grinding “They enter the best possibilities of their choice,” added the historian and Vaticanist professor at the Vaticanista Arcadius Steimbin.
“The church moves from centralization”
Professor Stempine draws attention to The philosophy that Francisco startedAny exit from the centrality of the church towards The biggest autonomy Decisions by the regions, which will be the key to setting the group that is chosen for the new Pope.
“The regions will decide at this time more for themselvesThat is, Europe for itself, Poland for itself, Spain over itself, Germany on itself and the Amazon forest for itself. “It is only salt in the eye for the superficial conservatives,” the historian says.
However, the teacher indicates that there Black clouds that wave on the horizon “the Parjulis”And that Pontificate from Francisco has a series of issues that started but not ended. “For example, Catholicism has not been activated in Western Europe. This is specifically the accusation that conservatives take against Pope Francis. Churches in Western Europe are still empty, in Poland emptying, so this puts the burden on” the Persians. “
The professor also indicates that everyone who becomes the new Pope will have to continue the institution and that the operations that begin on his successor: “We had an example 50 years ago in which a similar position occurred. Juan xxiii. The Second Vatican Council and Paul VI, which was more defensive, conservative, completed, opened, and placed in order. Well, because the work that John XXIII started, cannot be completed by him. “
“The most important thing is that the candidate guarantees the unity of the church”
Father Stanislav Tassimsky, the Dominican priest, a translator of the papal texts and vice -president of the Catholic News Agency, spoke with “Eurono” about the scope, its official rules, the potential caliphs of Francesco and what is it position Polish Church About choosing the next Pope.
Usually this first session ends around seven in the afternoon, then there are three consecutive days when there are four votes. Then break, one day conference, then three days and again, break one day, conference. This system is designed in a way that leaves a long time to think and find consensusHe describes Conclave.
“Everything indicates that 133 Cardinal will choose the new Pope, although this number still may change,” he added. Several Cardinals arrived at Limit a lifetime to participate In the vote, it is 80 years oldAnd many may retire for health reasons. cardinal Anglo BackIt led to embezzlement in 2023 by the Vatican Court in the first place, and also decided not to participate in the domain after days of controversy.
What is the position of the Polish Church, which is conservative, before choosing the new Pope? Father Tasiemski argues that for Polish crushers, the most important thing is that the Pope guarantees the unity of the church.
“The Polish Church thinks in terms of the International Church. The Polish voters from the Cardinals are the Cardinals who are every day in Korea and know the status of the World Church. he Cardinal Ray In particular, it is very updated with the work of the Korean Roman, but as well cardinalNyczEven for this reason, given the perspective of the International Church and what is the most important challenge, it is a candidate that guarantees the unity of the church, “says the father.
Because if we have such situations, where on the one hand, there are radical demands in Germany and some groups of ordinary Catholics say that the back should apply unacceptable repairs in Africa, then The church is in the danger of division at this point. Poland Church is not concerned about the defection. “He cares about the entire unity of the church.”
“It is not wise to say who will be chosen.”
As for the question about any of the current Cardinals, they will have greater opportunities to become potatoes, and the Dominican responded that there is nothing safe and that people who know very well that Roman Korea can be wrong in their predictions. The cleric puts the example of Pope Benedict XVIThat for thirty years in Romanian, he was considered three potential successors after his resignation. It turned out that none of them was finally chosen.
The father Tasbsky said: “He asked the Cardinals today. It is an invitation to the entire church, because without it they really feel like pilgrims on their way to light. The Catholic Church must be head around Pedro. This is the primary thing, and this is what Catholicism means.”
Crandic priorities, keys in Conclave
Father Tasiemski cited several reasons that could be related to it The decision to choose a new Pope: “If the Cardinate believes it is important Apply with strength in preachingCardinal can be postponed. If you believe that the challenges of secularism are important, it may be one of the Cardinals who live in a strong secular state that had this experience and know how the Church should act in this position. “
Father Tasiemski also does not rule out the possibility that the papal mission of the Cardinal has already exceeded 80 years. “With regard to assessments, they confirm the various information that many see in Cardinal Parolin To Khalifa, “he adds. Four Polish Cardinate will participate on the side: Stanisław Rylko, Kazimierz Nycz, Konrad Krajewski y Grzegorz Ryś.
