Cardinal Parolin’s exit from the Vatican Bank commission is an advantage for him, writes Sandro Magister (November 9).
Parolin dissociated himself from his Secretariat of State’s financial scandals and wants to keep clear of a storm “that could soon hit the Vatican Bank.”
Two Malta investment funds accuse the bank of having inflicted upon them a loss of tens of millions of euros by breaking of an agreement for the purchase and restoration of the former Stock Exchange Building in Budapest.
Magister doesn’t believe that the luckless Parolin is a potential successor of Francis anymore but sees Cardinal Tagle “beyond doubt” as Francis’ preferred candidate, however, Tagle may be “too similar to Francis.”
So, Francis’ candidate could be Bologna Cardinal Matteo Zuppi.

There is nothing "fake" about the current Vatican regime, Lalanz. It's as lawful as any preceding it.

A conservative is NOT what the Vatican would want (for obvious reasons) and a strong-willed progressive like Pope Francis brings his own kind of unique problems. The College of Cardinals would probably want the next pope to be more puppet-like, more malleable.... yet joyous and personable and gigglingl and dancing and crying and upbeat...
Tagle. It's going to be Tagle.More

There is an old Italian saying: A thin pope always follows a fat one.

Cardinal Eijk is conservative and believes in defending the faith. He removed a transgender parish administrator against the parish council's wishes, and ruled against divorced and remarried Catholics being admitted to Holy Communion, and criticizes priests and bishops for not defending Apostolic Tradition. Definately papabile!

Cardinal Wim Eijk mentioned again by Magister as a serious papabile, and as alternative to the disastrous Bergoglio pontificate.
