TOMORROW, the seventh of May, geopolitics is likely to be read and thought of in pensive reflection as 133 cardinals will meet to choose the successor to
Pope Francis.
The conclave that elected Pope Gregory X lasted 1,006 days, with the secret vote lasting from Nov. 1268 to Sept. 1271, the first example of a papal election by “compromise,” after a long struggle between supporters of two main geopolitical medieval factions – those faithful to the papacy and those supporting the Holy Roman Empire. .
Also seen as forebearer is the Jesuit-educated 67-year-old Filipino Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, currently serving as the Pro-Prefect of the Section for the First Evangelization and New Particular Churches of the Dicastery for Evangelization. Two other Italians – Archbishop of Bologna Matteo Zuppi, 70, and Pierbattista Pizzaballa, 60, the Latin Patriarch of Jerusalem – are also considered strong contenders. Both are pickled in church history, have a clear grasp of the Curia’s inner workings and are skilled in the Italian art of concertazione, a nuanced form of political compromise.
