Rev. James Martin

I think there's actually a lot of convergence in different parts of the world. So I'd like to see him at least continue that conversation, which would be a big deal. You're still staying, though, with the culture.

Let me think about that. Where should he go? I think they've all... They've gone everywhere.

That would be the first place I would go. Where? Gosh, well, I'm a little biased. I worked with refugees in East Africa. I'd go to a refugee camp in northern Uganda to greet the Sudanese. Okay. That's a great question. That's a good answer. I'll accept it. But let me think. There's so many other places. Yeah. Yeah, it's funny.

Well, let me tell you, if I were Pope, which will never happen in a trillion years, I would go to Lourdes first. Okay. Yeah, no question. And then I would go to the Sea of Galilee. I mean, this is all selfish. I would go there to pray. Yeah. And then I would, it's never going to happen. And then... I go to Knock. I love Knock. This is in Ireland. In Ireland, I love that.

But of course, this is more... This is more tourism, Catholic tourism. This is all more like for the Pope's kind of personal spiritual life. But I think going to, gosh, a refugee camp in northern Uganda, Lourdes, the Sea of Galilee, Um, and then some big crazy city like New York. Right.

Uh, you know, I probably go back to Argentina cause I know the people in Argentina were upset that he didn't come back, which was very interesting. Yeah. Kind of, kind of mysterious.

Where would, where would you, where would you have him go?

They have that expression in Italian, entra papabile uscita cardinale, which means you enter a possible candidate, you leave a cardinal. You know, I really don't know. I think they're going to go for someone who's a little bit more moderate, less revolutionary. Some people have told me that the Italians feel like this is their last chance, right?

Because the church is kind of moving toward the global south, and Francis certainly appointed a lot of bishops from there. I don't know. I look at the same candidates that everybody looks at. Paroline, Pizzabala, Zuppi, Tagli. I really don't know. It's kind of exciting because I think it's pretty wide open. There's something interesting going on.

I think people misunderstand this statistic that Pope Francis has appointed whatever, 75%, 80% of the cardinals, as thinking they're all going to be in lockstep with him. If you think about it, and I'm sure you know this, Francis really tried to name cardinals from far-flung places, right? Small dioceses. Exactly.
