Hopefully the media humdrum doesn't cloud the cardinal's judgements, as is supposed to be tradition

Sorry, I thought God picked the Pope *through* the cardinals? If they were potentially corruptible then the entire Church is just another corrupt hierarchy...

Just like how most of the Popes in history have been Italian, the next Pope being Filipino or Ghanan is going to be the result of many worldly factors. That doesn't de-legitimize the office in any way

I mean, God allows corrupt men to gain power if the rest of the laity is also corrupt.

Spoiler alert, the amount of self-proclaimed "Catholics" that even bother to do their weekly obligation to get to mass on a sunday or saturday evening is in the minority. I can hope God gives us a Pope that will whip the laity back into shape, but He's just as likely to allow someone who will appear to disband the Church into the Papacy, and then start over after nuking humanity again.
