Dear manager, Chito is going downhill, the electrician is climbing hard, the priest on the street is still covered. These are the latest projections on the ‘totoPapa’ to come, which has always been the favorite sport in the Vatican. Only in the case of Bergoglio the bets began a few hours before he was elected since the Argentine cardinal had taken 13 votes and was immediately placed as the great favorite. He began, with the mercy and perfidy that sometimes only priests know how to use, a talk about his health due to ailments linked, it was said, to serious lung problems. It was the Cardinal of Honduras Oscar Maradiaga, a Salesian who has always been anti-capitalist, which later ended in a story of funds received from a university, and very close to the Archbishop of Buenos Aires, who assured his conditions and initiated the election of Bergoglio.
Certainly someone expected a short pontificate, the thirty-three days of Pope Luciani are always in fact always in the sad thoughts of every cardinal. Pope Francis, apart from the thousand ailments of diabetes, hip pain and some circulation problems, is fine and if he avoided the sweets of which he is very greedy he would be even better. But this does not mean that the toto-succession is in a big uproar as well because, with a little malice and a lot of fun, it is Bergoglio himself who fuels the “bets” with his increasingly abrupt mood swings. Until recently, his favorite was the Filipino “Chinese professional” Luis Antonio Tagle named Chito, locked up at his home in Manila at the moment because he was struck by Covid-19. Also president of Caritas, he is a self-made man who started out as a typist. In 2019 the Pope called him to the Curia to lead one of the most important Congregations, the former Propaganda Fide where he was only seen three times. Adored by the media, he has a quick joke and, seeing that Francesco said he came “from the end of the world”, he replied “me from the beginning”. But something, especially for his position at Caritas, must have gone wrong if now the Pope bets everything on what is now commonly called the electrician, that is, the Polish Konrad Krajewski, who instead has, since 2013, the title of almoner . of His Holiness.
He made the news for hanging the light on a building occupied by squatters, and touring social centers with a Fiat Qubo to bring blankets and food to the homeless. He also recently forgot to thank those Interior Ministry officials who sent him a substantial offer for his missions on behalf of the Pope, such as helping transsexuals in Torvajanica. A winning image, therefore, to continue in the Church of the poor and the little ones. Every morning she is found in a bar under the lion’s walls singing and dancing shirtless with groups of young priests, as if she had completely forgotten the austerity and elegance of when she was the master of ceremonies of three Popes. In fact, he had a very special relationship with the Wojtyla magic circle, captained militarily by Stanislao Dziwisz, a former Archbishop of Krakow who lives bitter days away from Rome, upset by gossip about his family’s inheritance. But in the drawings of Santa Marta, where Francesco is staying, the pope to avoid, especially because he is Italian, although he is also a precursor of the Church of the latter, is Matteo Zuppi, 65-year-old Roman archbishop of Bologna. A student from the Sant’Egidio community, “the UN in Trastevere”, knows which side to be “against populism that gives wrong answers”, he also affirms that “the cardinal is red because he must testify blood.”
He is now in pole position to succeed Cardinal Gualtiero Bassetti at the head of the CEI, where until yesterday the modest vicar of Rome Angelo De Donatis was the favorite. But if the boomakers give these as favorites, children of those who only watch the latest and forget the principles of the universal Church, there is always a stone guest, unstable in the legs but with a very lucid head, who hardly wants to continue witnessing this. bad way. It is about the emeritus Ratzinger, who has some very prestigious cardinals, in the first row Roberto Sarah, from Guinean, prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship, who yesterday with the charismatic American Raymond Burke was moved to attend a movie preview. on Fatima, directed by Marco Pontecorvo and produced by an illustrated scientist, Stefano Buono. The film is distributed around the world with great success, but for now it is not well received in Italian cinemas. The story of Sister Lucia, the power of a miracle that awakens consciences in Portugal in 1917. Even in today’s Vatican a new light is needed. Long live the Pope.
