When I was updating my Cardinal Elector spreadsheet his name & credentials jumped out at me. Papal Nuncio to the (ever so important) U.S. since 2016. 7-years. That for a nuncio is a fair chunk of time. As far as I can see he hasn’t put a foot wrong, either in the U.S. or in Rome, during that time. That is good. He also has had stints in Brazil, Cuba and Africa. Plus the Holy See representative to the U.N. SO, it would appear that he might be able to cobble together votes from France, U.S., Brazil, Cuba, Africa and the curia.
He is also not too old or too young! He will be 78 in January 2024. That was the age that Benedict XVI was elected in 2005. Francis was 76.2 & John XXIII was 76.9. So, he can’t be ruled out as being too old.
Think about it. Mull it over. Do some research. Let me know.
