The French newspapers this Thursday (8) turn to the Conclave to choose the successor of Pope Francis in the Vatican, analyzing the challenges to achieve a consent in a transformed church.
THE Mondi Bring the news, according to “different sources”, on the fragility of the health of the Italian cardinal Pietro Parolim, one of the strong candidates for the Pope position. According to the text, “a sudden disease due to the high blood pressure” took the intervention by a medical team, a few hours before the cardinals were held in the Sistine Chapel. However, the information was denied by the Vatican spokesman, Matteo Bruni. However, the case demonstrates the numerous variables present in an election that, as the French diary describes, “mixes the spiritual dimension, concern for the future of the Church and the maneuvers of the backstage, real or imaginary”.
The newspaper The figar He also investigates “the mysteries with the doors closed” in the Vatican. The diary stresses that the elections are a physical challenge for the 133 participating cardinals, including many seventieri, “whose tiredness is visible in their faces”, considering that several days have participated in events in the Vatican, from the death of Francis. However, they will be able to count on the help of the Holy Spirit, invoked in the homily of Cardinal Battista, to the Mass that preceded the Conclave.
“Praying and invoking the Holy Spirit is the only fair attitude towards the highest human and ecclesiastical responsibility and a choice of exceptional importance,” said the 91 -year -old religious who, by age, does not participate in the vote.
THE Liberation He underlines that 80% of the voters in the conclave were appointed by Pope Francis, “which could mean an advantage for those who defend the legacy of the Argentine pontiff”. In addition, Francisco also appointed cardinals in the peripheral regions such as Haiti, Cape Verde, Mongolia and Tonga islands. There is also the expectation for the possibilities of an African or Asian Pope, but it is only in the conclave, upon closed doors, that all the cardinals will decide whether to find an appropriate candidate in these parts of the world.
