Would love it, but I think out best hope for an American is Dolan.
 
Cardinal Tagle ftw lol But in all seriousness, God will pick the next Pope who will fulfill whatever the mission of the Church God deems most fit for the next Papacy. His Holiness Pope Benedict XVI fulfilled his Papacy according to God’s will. Now is time for another Pope, another mission. All for the greater glory of God and the building up of His One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Kingdom 🙂

Amen, fratre.
 
Interesting thread. I don’t know much about him other than he is a cardinal from the US, but I chose him to pray for in the prayer project for the cardinals under the Spirituality thread, Looking for 118 Companions. I am glad he is well thought of. Thanks for sharing.
 
I’ve met Cardinal Burke and sat under his teaching, and I love him dearly. He is a true apostle of Jesus.

But I hope that a younger, spryer man will be selected. I would like to see a Pope who is in his 50s or maybe early 60s, so that he will have many healthy, mobile years (God willing, of course) to serve as Holy Father.

A Pope that young wouldn’t probably remember Vatican II, much less have been a part of it. That would break that string. Just saying.

He’s not so far off the early 60’s. He’s 64. I’m from the Diocese of La Crosse, where he served as Bishop. I met him way back when he was Father Burke. 🙂
 
Raymond Burke confirmed me back in 2000 when he was still in La Crosse, so it would be an honor to see him as the next Pontiff.

Frankly, I think that would be a good thing. I would like to see the Church move forward and not spend so much time trying to decide which practices of the past need to be restored. I find it discouraging that so much time (at least on CAF) is spent debating over subjects like the use of Latin in the Mass, while outside of this forum in the real world, so many moral issues are destroying our world.

I didn’t realize that Cardinal Burke is so young. His store of wisdom must make him appear older! So yes, he would be a good choice, although I would still rather see someone who is in his 50s and is strong and fit. And yes, I realize all too well (because of what happened to my Dad), that anyone, no matter how healthy or fit, can be suddenly stricken by illness or injury.

I think that Cardinal Dolan is needed here in the U.S. to stand up charitably but firmly against Pres. Obama and other leaders who are trying to take away the freedom of religion and make evil the law of the land.

Isn’t it possible that a lot of this has to do with a communications breakdown, in spite of our technological advances and “improved” translations?
 
Cdl. Burke would quite a blessing, The nutty that NCR and Andrew Sullivan would throw alone would be worth it.

I wouldn’t mind Cdl. Dolan, but he needs to do less waving of the U.S. Constitution in people’s faces. So here’s a little lesson for him for the future if the mandatory contraception-funding issue comes up:

The right response:

Contraception is evil. It desecrates the marital bond, offends against chastity, and is a menace to public morals. It is reprehensible to engage in contraceptive acts or to cooperate in them in any way. Public bodies should not be promoting or enabling this sin. Neither Holy Mother Church, nor any other group, religious or secular, nor any individual should be forced by government to divulge funds for such wicked purposes.

The wrong response:

We Catholics have this weird idea that contraception is bad. We have no reason for this belief. Don’t look at us, man; it’s the old man in Rome. He made up this rule and the rest of us are stuck with it. It’s like the Jews and pork–a ‘religion’ thing. However, even though poor, poor women (Who cares about men, after all?) are going to, like die, or whatever it is that happens to chicks who don’t get their contraceptive pills, we are selfishly sticking with our arbitrary dislike, and we think we’ve found something in the constitution that forces you to let us.

Hat tip to “Bonald” for that.

Hi there

Its very heartening to see a traditional-catholic Scot on the forum. I am in Glasgow, and have only really learned about tradition in recent years. Novus ordo was all I have knew till then.

I very much admire Cardinal Burke and think he would be a great Pope, but Im not sure an American will get it in this era. My hope is for Cardinal Malcolm Ranjith - though if Burke was at all possible, id bite your hand off haha! Ranjith is traditional too, and a Sri Lankan would also be a fresh face for the Papacy. I think he speaks 10 languages too, I don’t think too many Cardinals can boast quite so many!

A group of traditional catholics are holding a conference in Glasgow, in june - I am going along to that and hope to learn a bit more there. In particular, I am attracted to hearing the main speaker, Gerald Warner.

I see from your blog you are younger than I - how do you perceive interest in tradition among peers of your age group? Widespread? Rare?

In my own age group (30s) I think there is definitely an interest, but also a hesitation - as novus ordo is all people have known, some aspects of tradition may appear to be quite a departure from what they know. Having said that, in my (limited) experience of latin masses, it has only left me wanting more of the same.

Good to meet you and hope to see you around on the forum
Cheers

I admit I don’t know a lot about the Cardinals (definitely not enough to select a favorite), but from what I have heard of Cardinal Burke, I would most definitely be happy to hear of this choice if it be God;s Will.

I LOVE that phrase. How very baptist it sounds 😛 and how descriptive!
 
Cardinal Burke would be good, but I don’t say that because he’s an American. If it isn’t Cardinal Burke, then Cardinal Ranjith would be great.
