- The lesson: Never trust me on Pope predictions.
- FWIW. My prediction would be the cardinals choose another pope from the global south. But one less concerned with European and American ideological debates altogether. Possibly more conservative than Francis on issues, but interested in growth in the south, not fighting over northern issues.
- Instead of what I predicted, the cardinals picked a Francis-ally from America.
- He was a cardinal with a fairly anti-Trump Twitter feed. x.com/drprevost
