I wonder whether the similar would be said about Holy Father Francis, that is that he was a friend and strong supporter of former Cardinal McCarrick...
Okpaleke is not less conservative compared to Kaigama. Nigerian bishops as a bunch are conservative. Okpaleke didn't become bishop by being a "Francis man", if by Francis man you mean liberal. +Okpaleke was rejected by the diocese he was earlier appointment to, the people claimed the bishop will be unable to communicate in the dialect of the rural diocese and claimed that Cardinal Arinze simply appointment his man without looking at the needs of the people. +Okpaleke showed a gentle disposition, led as much as he could and resigned when he knew he couldn't unite the diocese under him. He was without a see for a while until a new diocese was created close to his home town and he was named bishop of the new diocese. His diocese is about 5 years old...and he was named cardinal! Certainly he is not less conservative
For the time being, the Benedict, and John Paul ii appointments remain ... will only get worse. Then when the vultures abandon what appears to be a corpse, recovery can renew.
John 15: 18-19, Jesus said to his disciples: “If the world hates you, know that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, the world would love its own; but because you do not belong to the world, and I have chosen you out of the world, the world hates you. One thing for sure, The world loves Bergolio, and he it.
@JUMBOSHRIMP Thank you for your response. I sincerely appreciate it and welcome the dialogue. I often receive harsh criticism for my words, and rightly so. I do recognize that I am lacking in that department. Please pray for me that I may be more charitable. My words, poorly chosen as they were however, I believe stand. The Holy Father has been corrected by his brother bishops, his words and actions often cause confusion among the faithful as well as his silence. I love the Holy Father and pray for him but its a stretch calling him a great Pope.
@@practice965 The pope is cleaning up the church finances. It is not a glamourising job, it’s not appealing to the faithful but it needed to bone. Europe is lost for the faith for at least the next 50 years so the pope needs to delude European influence as much as possible., again not appealing but it needs to be done. What defines a great pope? Pope XII was publicly seen as great pope, but we know now his autocratic papacy stopped functioning after 1948 and the cardinals elected the antithesis with John XIII who almost destroyed the European church with Vaticanum II. Without the style of Pius XII probably no John XIII, without the style of Benedict XVI no Francis. The label “the Great” is almost never rightly accorded by contemporaries. Time will tell.
You speak of the basis for Francis's popularity, but I don't know what you're talking about. I've never meant anyone, and certainly no Catholic, who likes this guy. "Better than Mao" is about the best I can say for him, but whatever.

Well, I'm a daily communicant and I say there are plenty of American Mass-going Catholics (especially Boomers and college kids; I'm in a college town) out here on the Left Coast who approve of the Pope. As well as some who don't. Probably the vast majority "approve" in the sense that they don't pay much attention.
Even if the Holy See were vacated before then, those Cardinals-designate can still vote in the Conclave, then it’s up to the new Pope to confirm the nomination or let it fall into abeyance. Which is great. I love McElroy.
