Gordon Campbell: On The New Pope, And The Israeli Attack On Peter Davis

The election of any Pope tends to be retro-fitted in ways that make the choice seem inevitable. God’s will, no less. If the new Pope had been Italian (“Time for the papacy to return home!) or a staunch conservative (“Time for a balance to the liberalism of Francis!”) then much the same process would be taking place. It seems apparent that Cardinal Robert Prevost looks to have been a protege of Francis, who made him a cardinal in 2023. This was in the wake of the 2022 Curia reforms that de-centralised power, and elevated the role of bishops’ conferences in particular.
