Conservatives Push for Traditionalist Pope
Tap title to read story
Conservative Catholics are hoping the next papal election will result in a more traditional Pope focused on issues like pro-life and family values, rather than climate change or immigration. Influencers are promoting hard-right candidates such as Bishop Athanasius Schneider, who has made controversial statements about refugees. Others mentioned include Cardinals Robert Sarah and Raymond Burke. The strong conservative presence within the Catholic Church, particularly evident in the high percentage of Catholic Trump voters, is influencing expectations for the next papacy.
