Against the expected and even the first hypotheses that were moved by the Italian media this Friday, the Conclava, who selected the pope on ThursdayLeo XIV He began with a surprise: Cardinal precision has been from the first control on Wednesday, most … voted. This explains his quick choice in only four voices, much like in Benedict XVI papa In 2005. Since ABC was able to know the direct sources related to the Conclava, Cardinal Robert Proposts was already the most voted, with support somewhat above Pietro parolin. In third place was one of the main candidates of the conservative block.
Results that also surprised the Cardinals, which, after that vote, serving as a survey to verify the potential power of each candidate, inForgot about Santa Marta By believing that the Italian block had a backup well below the one planned. The alleged paroline dominance was, in fact, a false belief, largely in favor of Italian media, which has been the possibility of transalpy papers since Francisco’s death.
Thus, the dialogue and reflection on the postcard on Wednesday in Casa Santa Marti have already bet on one of the two most voted candidates. As it happened in the previous ones, the resolution will see how the support of both candidates has grown or decreased in the next election, which means that in the latter case they also seek its possibilities of achieving the papacy.
In that sense, and again according to the sources he consulted with this newspaper on Thursday morning, the candidacy of Robert Translation gained support, while the paroline fell apart. Again, as in the 2005 Conclav, a pause of food on the second day was crucial to unlocking the latest disability and delaying the entire title in the shift.
He assumed that he was chosen, the only option in the sector that supported the parolin, would organize a locked minority, at least 45 votes to avoid choosing a movement, and forced him to withdraw. However, this is an alternative that has never gone through the leader of the cardinal, as it would mean that she would unnecessarily extend the Conclava, in addition to offering a message of a divided church, a little in terms of the wishes of communion and unity showed in general congregations before the commitment.
There was no ‘sorpasso’
Also Information that ABC could get Unlike the one who was morning this Friday, Transalptine Media has been moving since they met, moving from Italy and fell to those who considered papers “without options”, with double American and Peruvian nationality and Spanish origin.
This was the first to offer a possible “Sorpasso” version this Thursday from the premiere to parolin, Vatican Il Corriere della Sera, Alberto Melloniwho, despite the fact that we will assume that “we will know the exact numbers and quantities, we will have to wait a little while,” he decided yesterday at noon to publish it “at noon [por el jueves, en la tercera votación] It was rumored that paroline had 49 votes and shift 38 “. Some of the numbers he warned, “care should be taken, because they were almost true, they thought that these two candidates were monopolized two -thirds of votes, while the clear third of the purple preferred others.”
“In the afternoon, as happened in 2013, the votes moved to an American from Perpurada, which exceeds 89,” concluded the Vatican, who erected at the time of food when Parolin would give votes to eventually be selected as the Pope. Explaining that, like television, “inspired by real events”, he plays more with credible than loyalty to what happened. Moreover, if anyone takes into account that the same medium is confirmed on the day of the Conclava, that Cardinal Parolin has completely eliminated about sixty votes in the first vote, so both versions would conclude a contradiction, unless anyone can imagine that the support of the Cardinal Secretary has disappeared in only two reviews.
Suddenly add more than 50 supports that you wouldn’t ever have, flood the criteria of credible and challenge the political logic
In fact, if we compare the development of the Conclava with the previous two, we have reliable information provided by Francisco in an interview with Javier Martínez-Brocal, successor, elections in 2025 look more like Benedict XVI in 2005 than in the 2013 Argentine Pope, which was selected in the fourth vote and not.
Then Cardinal Ratzinger left as a favorite and since the first vote was the most voted Jorge Mario Bergoglio In another position, always with a great difference in support. According to Francisco, Ratzinger had already reached more than seventy votes in the third morning, the last morning of the second day (77 was needed for elections), while Bergoglio was behind about 40. The amount he, although he did not allow him to be selected, converted his candidacy into a locking minority that could convert his candidacy. The critical situation was resolved during food, when Bergoglio made it clear that he did not strive for the papacy and asked his followers not to “use it” to block another candidacy. The vast majority of 84 votes were selected across the food.
According to the Italian newspaper, negotiations in food, which is supposed to occur in this end, but, as it is narrated, is a great scenario. As they claim, the precision in the vote itself would be accepted by the second by 38 votes to defeat 89 necessary to elect the Pope. But to achieve more than 50 supports that he would not have at any time, he floods the criteria of credible and challenges the political logic of the concact.
What happened then that the reality moved so much from the forecasts that most of the media advanced? The first hypothesis is to assume that the Italian media overestimated the possibilities of cardinals of their country by installing Zuppi, Pizzaball, and especially paroline. A fiction, which feeds on even gestures, such as Cardinal Re when he at the end of Mass Pro chose Pontifice, Secretary of State wanted a double happiness, which from that moment made her as a concept leader.
While the story seemed credible and reduced by the media around the world, the situation was and very different inside. The ambiguous profile with which Parolin was presented did not convince the most loyal continuity of Francisco’s legacy, but had no alternative candidate, much less to the most conservative sector who does not see the cardinal secretary of the state to disembark the doctrinal and canonical sketch left left by Francisco Ponticia. It is no surprise, therefore, that in the initial vote, one of the candidates of this block received significant voice support, although it is far behind the shift and paroline, who finally fell to Pope Leo XIV.
A double profile
Cardinal from continents, such as Africa or Asia, did not seem ready for several doctrinal attempts. Remember that episka conferences throughout Africa run by a cardinal Fridolin AmbongoThey reached a statement by Pope Francis, so that no additional Kroturga blessings were performed on the continent proposed in the Fiducia Suplicans declaration, according to the risk of scandal. For many Asians, the agreement is still hidden, which is reached by Parolin with the Communist government in Beijing, Claudication and Issue of the Catholic Church, loyal to Rome, who has lived in hiding for decades.
In addition, we have to take into account the role that Carnal had precision in the twelve general congregations that collected the cardinals in the days before the Conclava. These are meetings that are not subjected to secrets at the same level as the Conclava, so we will soon know the details of what happened today in the new synod classroom. At Francisco’s election, his speech, claiming that the church was visiting “existential periphery” was crucial for his choice.
These days, Stamp Sala He allowed details of interventions, albeit without the identification of the cardinals who played in them. In the latter, in which short presentations discussed for a maximum of five minutes on all the key issues of the Church during this time, one of the central topics was “communion, labeled as the essential vocation of the new pope.” It was also outlined “the figures of a pope pastor, a master of humanity, capable of embodying the face of a samaritan church, close to the needs and wounds of humanity” and was insisted, Above All, and “A Pope Who is a pontiff and builder of bridges”, a fow work.
