Scherer generated a crisis in Sao Paulo Catholic University as he put as rector the 3rd placed on an election, after she promised to refuse if she failed to get 1st spot in triple list election. Best Brazilian candidates aren't cardinal by now. Bishop Tempesta (Rio de Janeiro) and Bishop Krieger (Salvador) would be interesting in a conclave. Among Brazilian Five, Damasceno would be an acceptable choice.

A strong candidate in next conclaves will be Husar's sucessor, Sviatoslav Shevchuk. He's only 42 and he'll get a large experience by next Conclave if next Pope serves 20 years.

Although I'm Brazilian, I'm against Scherer because a Brazilian pope can strengthen Catholic Church in Brazilian politics. If I were voting, I'd go for Schönborn or Erdo. O'Malley would be a good choice too.

Francis name isn't only because Saint Francis of Assisi, but also due to Saint Francis Xavier, one of founders of Jesuit order and a missionary to Eastern Asia. Bergoglio should put emphasis into going to other side of the world.
He went to that Conclave with many voters from 2005 and he repeated his performance at General Congregations. He's a good fit with Church needs now. A good manager without being a Curialist and a person who can get people's support with social focus. The only no is that he's somewhat older and he's linked to Communione and Liberazione. Scola people accepted him and Sandri brought Curia votes. Maybe Sandri will be new Secretary of State, although I'd like a reformer like Schönborn or O'Malley.

I'm watching Globo News now. There's a program with Camarotti and Ariel Palacios, a correspondent in Buenos Aires.

Pope Francis had Cardinal Hummes and Cardinal Sandri at his side. A message?
