Pope Francis made a bunch of new Cardinals from all over the world, so nobody knows what will happen.

They're also allowed to name their successors. If he's really as concerned with the direction of the church as he has claimed, you'd think he'd ensure who's gonna be wearing the fancy red shoes in the coming years. But honestly, I think he's not quite as concerned about that as he's lead on. He strikes as me as a radical centrist, it just looks progressive compared to so many of the others.

David Graeber had a take on that before he died.

If you convince a billion people that you can breathe underwater, and then you go sit at the bottom of a lake, you'll drown.

If you convince a billion people you're the king of France... Then you're the king of France.

So the question becomes, how many Catholic friends do you have?
