Today, those who want to influence the selection of the Catholic Church use social networks, television, interviews in daily newspapers, media conferences, and even pink smoke. Impact campaigns The outcome of the very uncertain conclaves went shortly after the death of Pope Franje was published on Easter Monday. They must fit until tomorrow afternoon, when the cardinals will start insulation from the outer world until they choose Francis’s successor.
Two attempts for the sabotage of current favorites to take over the holy chair are separated. Last Thursday, the Catholic Social Network in the USA and in the Conservative Italian newspapers expanded the voice that Cardinal Pietro Parolin, one of the leading candidates, had health problems and requested medical attention.
The Vatican spokesman said that these reports were completely false. Italian media writes that it was an attempt to “poisoning” a chance of a 70-year-old cardinal claims that his body is not ready for such an important function.
“It was a clear attempt to sabotage the paroline,” said Italian Cardinal Francesco Coccopalmerio.
A few days after Franjina’s death, the old footage of Luis Antonio Tagle on which that Philippine Cardinal sings the song IMAGINE John Lennon, famous by verses who deny the existence of paradise and hell.
American and Italian conservatives accused Filipinac for hereses. One tradelistal Italian portal asked:
“Do we want such a person for the Pope?”
Tagles supporters defended the cardinal by claiming that he sang a shortened version of the song, without disputed verses.
“With right and left, false news about potential papes are everywhere,” Paolo Rodari wrote, Vatican Question commentator for Swiss Rsi Rsi Rsi.
Two famous conservative journalists, British Edward Pentin and American Diane Montagnaga, prepared a debt document in Italian and English with profiles of 30 cardinals and their attitudes on doctrinal and social issues. Montagna presents a document to cardinals that enter and exit the congregation before the conclave.
Pentin told Reuters that their work was “The Service of the Church” and that the profiles of several ultracons-conservative cardinals were considered to have no chance to become a new Pope, involved in order to leave the possibility of “Divine intervention”.
On the other side of the political spectrum, youth, progressive Catholics from the north of Europe, prepared an open letter to Cardinals to choose a man who would continue Franjine reform. The Argentine Pope “opened the door and broke the taboos,” they wrote.
Groups for the rights of victims of sexual abuse were held by several press conferences in Rome to say that the crisis is not over and that it is important how certain cardinals fought against it or ignored.
After each circle of voting the conclave from the chimney of the Sistine chapel will be allowed smoke, white if a new pope is selected, black if it is not yet. Perhaps the most lively signal of the cardinals will arrive from the conference for the design of women who promotes the female priesthood. This organization plans to let pink smoke from the hill near the Vatican several hours before the beginning of the conclave.
“The exclusion of women from the conclave and ordained services of sin is scandal,” said the director of the Kate McElwee organization.
“A group of ordained men meeting behind closed doors to bring a significant decision on the future of the Church school is the example of the example of the” male club “, she added.
