Cardinal S is not a Cardinal Ratz by any stretch of the imagination.

But then again, no one on this planet can compare to the genius of Cardinal Ratzinger.

We need a Pope who will know how to deal with the world as it is, but will never stray from tradition

In 1595 Fr. Arnold Wion described our next Pope with this phrase:*
Petrus Romanus, qui pascet oves in multis tribulationibus: quibus transactis civitas septicolis dirueter, et Judex tremedus judicabit populum suum. Finis.
Translation—Peter of Rome, who will feed his sheep in many tribulations: when these things are finished the city of the seven hills will be destroyed, and the terrible Judge will judge his people. The End.
*LIGNUM VITAE, liber secundus, pg 311, 1595, Wion.

I think the “it can’t be an American” theory may fall by the wayside sooner rather than later. We’ve seen a number of such theories go already: “It has to be an Italian.” “It has to be a European.” “It couldn’t be someone from a religious order,certainly not a Jesuit.” “A pope would never resign.” I think the Chilean bishop controversy, the puzzling lapse and churning of the papal commission on child protection, the apparent inability to effect real change in the Curia – these things will be remembered at the next conclave, and will have a far more “top of mind” influence than the question of reverting to “liturgical East.” I can think of one man uniquely qualified, by track record, by number of languages spoken, and by recent experience to address these issues: Seán Cardinal O’Malley of Boston. (Next meme to go: “Contemporary popes can’t have beards.”)

I can agree with this.
Cardinal O’Malley is perhaps the only American Cardinal (let alone bishop) who is almost universally accepted on both the traditional and modernist sides of the College of Cardinals.
In my opinion, the only other Popeable American Cardinal is Cardinal DiNardo, Archbishop of Galveston–Houston. The rest of the well respected / Popeable American Bishops are not Cardinals.
Honestly, I think Bishop Barron has a good shot at becoming Pope if he’s given his own Diocese soon and does a great job
