Yes, we have some pretty clear frontrunners at this point, particularly in the immediate period after the Pope's death. Some people have really emerged. In the traditionalist camp, the real frontrunner is a man named Cardinal Robert Serra from Guinea. All the frontrunners in the traditionalist camp, more or less, are Africans. There is a Hungarian, but more or less, they're Africans.

So Cardinal Robert Serra, if you go on a lot of traditionalist Catholic social media at the moment, you are going to see a lot of love for Cardinal Robert Serra. He is a very traditionalist cardinal, a very traditionalist theologian and pastor.

Certainly he's very traditional, one might even say a bit draconian on issues of gender and sexuality, but also on liturgical issues, questions like the Latin mass, things that people outside the Catholic church or outside of sort of religious circles don't tend to debate. And you also have sort of the far reach, what I would call the far reach progressives, right?

People like Cardinal José Mendoza from Portugal. He is only 59, and so it is very unlikely he would become pope, quite frankly. But he's very progressive, I think, in the ways that we sort of think about progressiveness. even in an American political sense. So, for example, he has shown some real sympathies for a Benedictine nun who is interested in the ordination of women and who is pro-choice.

He's the far end of Cardinal Serra, right? What we'll probably get, though, and right now, Vegas, the betting odds, the last time I checked, we're on this Filipino cardinal. You can always trust the Vegas betting odds because people actually put money on it, right?

Like actually bet on it. Cardinal Luis Tagale from the Philippines. This is, I think, the inspired choice, not to be too punny about it. He is sometimes called the Asian Francis. So he is theologically, I would say, very moderate, but pastorally sort of open in the way that we saw with Francis.

The Philippines is one of the most Catholic countries in the world. It's in the heart of Asia. You would get a non-white pope, which I think is important at this point, who is also sort of in keeping with the general ideological, theological, philosophical mood of the conclave at the moment.
