The Conclave starts today. I'm quite interested to see who will be the successor to Francis.

Seems Cardinal Parolin is the favourite. He's Italian. I hope its not him. Very conventional knows the ropes. Bit of a boring choice.

Cardinal Tagle from the Philippines. Now that would be a lot more interesting. There is a huge Catholic population there. He's second favourite.

Then Cardinal Turkson from Ghana I think. Now that will be really interesting. I think a good thing.

Then Cardinal Zuppi another Italian. Again boring. We need somebody to make a mark but maybe not too big a one.

Anyone got an opinion on this.

I love Pope Leo's voice, it's so calming and reassuring. I hope and pray he will be a great Pope for humankind and inspiring for the Catholic community around the world.

I was a bit disappointed at first. I was hoping for the cardinal from the Philippines. Or the one from Israel. I thought it was a boring choice. However, it appears it was a very wise choice. The two interviews with his brothers were insightful
