Several of his picks come from developing countries, like Cuba, Congo and Guatemala. Two are based in predominantly Muslim countries: Morocco and Indonesia.

The longest Conclave was that of 1740. It lasted from 18 February until 17 August, 181 days. Fifty-one cardinals participated in the final ballot, four cardinals having died during the proceedings. Italian Pope Benedict XIV was elected that time.

Unknown to whom?
Why if you do not even know them presuppose the “orthodox” bishops are going to have a “ rough” time as if the new ones were “ opposition “?
It is incredible…poor persons…disqualified from the start .

Unknown to most people in the Church, most likely. How many people have heard of Archbishop Ignatius Suharyo Hardjoatmodjo, for example? He’s going to be a Cardinal now.
As for the rest of the Cardinal-Electors, several of them are not unknowns, and their theological opinions and leanings are well known. I don’t mean to come in here and sound like an alarmist or conspiracy theorist, but I’m not hopeful that we’re going to avoid a Pope Marx or Pope Maradiaga the next time around based on the current body of Cardinals. If people think it’s bad now, and something like this happens, well, you haven’t seen anything yet.

Their people know them. As you know your bishops and almost nobody else does in the rest of our planet…
When our Pope Francis was chosen, I cried. We were too insignificant, and yet somehow God had looked at us in kindness. Of course we knew him, CELAM knew him… and as he said so lovingly: be happy, he had been chosen from among us… born and raised among us…
And so I extend this happiness to the people whose Bishops have been chosen ! And to those Bishops may God bless them all very much.

So what is an orthodox catholic? A traditionalist catholic? or a conservative catholic? both are different…

You are entitled to your opinion of course. IMO, Pope Francis is not unorthodox, but often misunderstood by some people. A thousand doubts do not an error make.

Then perhaps they should brush up on Church teaching about the role of the Holy Father.

An orthodox Catholic is someone who ascents to all the teachings of the Church.
It doesn’t have anything to do with liberal or conservative.

Well, the new cardinals were selected by the Bishop of Rome. So my guess is orthodox catholics would be happy to see the new cardinals.

Of course every Pope is entitled to select his own Cardinals, and it’s certainly common for any pope to select those who are favorable to his own views. This is probably no different. But it’s also true that no conclave is free of factions, so that is to be expected as well. This article, apparently written by a millenial, sees it as Pope Francis paving the way for Fancis II.

Is it? It seems to me that St. John Paul II and Benedict XVI appointed a good mix of both “conservative” and “progressive” cardinals. Our current Holy Father seems to tend to favor the latter. …but perhaps not exclusively.

Seriously, I don’t think Pope Francis cares a great deal about what some American conservatives think …just saying
