Greg Dixon: 本周,约130位枢机主教将在梵蒂冈集会,选举新教宗领导全球14亿天主教徒。本次选举具有历史意义,因为投票枢机主教中欧洲人将少于一半,这主要归功于教宗方济各任命了来自缅甸、卢旺达、汤加等全球南方国家的枢机主教。 Alistair Dutton: 教宗方济各是一位面向世界的教宗,他致力于将教会的关注点从自身转向世界、经济和社会,特别关注穷人。他任命了绝大多数(80%)的枢机主教,这反映了他的全球视野。 Ruth Sherlock: 教宗方济各任命更多来自全球南方的枢机主教,是其对教廷结构进行的悄无声息的改革,但这面临着来自希望回归传统和西方中心主义的派系的强烈反弹。来自中非共和国的枢机主教迪奥格内斯·恩扎帕伦加的经历,体现了全球南方枢机主教的独特视角和经历。 Cardinal Jorge Enrique Jimenez Carvajal: 教会已经开启了与世界的新对话,这体现了枢机主教多样性的积极影响。 Father Robert Sirico: 来自不同国家且彼此不熟悉的枢机主教,更容易受到老一派枢机主教的影响,他们可能会通过私下会面等方式影响新任枢机主教的投票意向。

During his time, Pope Frances selected many cardinals from the global south and our correspondent in Rome tells us how this could influence who the next pope will be.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoices)NPR Privacy Policy)
