on who will succeed him Pope Francis has on different occasions spoken about the qualities his successor must have through these words Pope Francis has given hints on the kind of person he hopes will lead the Catholic church after him by looking at these qualities one could even speculate who might be the one chosen to follow in footsteps but what are these qualities humility is one of the most important qualities Pope Francis has highlighted he has often shown by his actions how much he values Simplicity for example instead of living in the grand Grand Apostolic Palace he chose to stay in the Vatican guest house this shows how much he values living humbly just like Christ who led by example not by seeking power dear brothers and sisters in this our final catechesis on the Ten Commandments we reflect on how in the Light of Christ the decalogue should be seen not as a series of rules but rather the guide to an authentic human life Pope Francis believes the next Pope should follow this example leading with humility and wealth this quality was also seen in the life of Pope John the 23rd who was loved Simplicity a future Pope with this humility would lead the church in a manner another key quality Pope Francis has mentioned is the heart of a pastor he has often said that the pope must be someone who truly cares for the people especially the poor marginalized and suffering Pope Francis himself is known for his deep care for the most vulnerable he believes the next Pope must not only focus on Church rules and structures but also on the spiritual and practical well-being of the faithful a future Pope must be someone who feels a deep concern for the flock just as St Pope John the 23rd did his loving pastoral approach showed that a pope should focus on the people guiding kindness Pope Francis didn't stop here the quality he revealed next left stunned a Global Perspective is also something Pope Francis has spoken about the world is becoming more connected and The Church Must also have a broad global vision Pope Francis often speaks about the need for the church to pay more attention to to the global South where many people live in poverty he believes the next Pope must be someone who understands and connects with people from all cultures and walks of life this quality is especially important in today's world where many cultures religions and nationalities need to be brought together in peace Pope francis's Vision reminds many of the Outreach that Pope Paul showed during his travels he connected with Catholics around the world Pope Francis believes that a future Pope must have this ability 21 Men chosen by Pope Francis are receiving the red hat on Saturday at St Peter's Basilica including the archbishops of Tyron Tokyo and Toronto he should be a person that can reach and connect with all people regardless of their background next a strong commitment to social justice is also essential for the next Pope a strong commitment to social justice has marked Pope francis's papacy from speaking out about poverty to advocating for Environmental Protection Pope Francis has worked to raise awareness of social issues he believes the next Pope should continue this focus on the poor and marginalized advocating for changes in society that fairness this commitment to justice is part of the church's long tradition of standing up for the the poor as we saw in the lives of figures like St Oscar Romero who fought for justice in El Salvador it is Pope francis's heart's desire that the next Pope should not shy away from these issues but should lead the church in challenging unjust systems and promoting Justice for All Pope Francis has also spoken out on the ability to bridge divides he has worked hard to bring Unity to the church from reconciling different groups within the church or reaching out to people of other faiths one of his major achievements was his meeting with the grand Imam of Alazar showing his desire to build Bridges between Catholics and Muslims Pope Francis believes the next Pope must have this same ability to heal divisions and promote peace this quality could be seen in how Pope John Paul II lived he helped bring down the Walls of division between eastern and western Europe a future Pope should work to bring healing to both the church and the world helping to unite people from different walks of life beyond these Pope Francis looks out for other spirituality a deep spiritual life is something Pope Francis has said is crucial for any Pope the pope must be someone who places prayer devotion and a close relationship with God at the center of his life our Pope Francis says do not be ashamed to pray and cry out to the Lord at his weekly talk in the Vatican the Holy Father says prayer is the beam of light in the darkest moments of Our Lives Pope Francis has often stressed that the role of the pope is not just to govern but to lead the spiritually a pope without a deep prayer life cannot guide the faithful properly this spiritual Focus was Central to the lives of popes like Benedict the 16 who was known for his devotion Pope Francis definitely wants a future Pope to have a deep spirituality that can guide the church with prayer and a connection to God but that's not all Pope Francis has also placed a special focus on inspiring young people he has said that it is important to reach out to the younger generation as many young people today feel disconnected from the church Pope Francis has worked hard to engage with young people hosting events like World youth day where young Catholics can gather and find strength in their faith the next Pope will need to continue this work by encouraging youth to find their place in the church another quality Pope Francis inclusivity he has always worked to make the church open to everyone especially those who have often been excluded this includes members of the pride Community divorced and remarried Catholics and others who may feel left out by Church teachings Pope Francis believes the next Pope must continue this emphasis on inclusivity ensuring that no one feels rejected just as Christ reached out to the outcasts of society the pope must continue to open the doors of the church to all people no matter their background struggles additionally being a leader commitment a commitment to reform has been a key theme of Pope francis's papacy he has worked to address problems within the church such as clerical abuse Financial transparency and the need for more decentralized governance Pope Francis ended an unprecedented Vatican clergy by insisting the Catholic church and its long history of covering up the abuse use of children Pope Francis believes his successor must continue these reforms he must ensure that the church remains accountable and transparent interestingly the call for reform is not new in the history of the church Pope John the 23rd in his time pushed for reforms during the second Vatican Council more so charity and mercy are Central to Pope francis's Ministry his papacy has been marked by a focus on Mercy especially in the reconciliation where he calls Catholics forgiveness Pope Francis believes that the pope must be someone who embodies the spirit of mercy and charity in everything he does this emphasis on Mercy is rooted in the teachings of Christ who showed deep compassion to the Sinners Pope Francis has often said that his successor should be someone who can preserve the church's core teachings while also guiding it into the future through these qualities Pope Francis has in a way answered the question many have had about who will eventually succeed him however many Christians are still curious because the pope did not reveal the exact identity of his successor instead he only shared the qualities he believes are essential for the next Pope this has led people to speculate about which of the Cardinals possess these qualities after all the next Pope will be chosen from among the Cardinals as it tradition there are currently many Cardinals serving with Pope Francis but who among them truly embodies the qualities the pope described and more importantly who is Pope francis's favorite the Pope's response to this question has left many stunned and we're about to reveal which cardinal he seems to favor based on his

ways that speak directly to them in today's digital age Cardinal Tel's Embrace of modern technology has set him apart as a leader who understands the changing world like Pope Francis tagel sees technology as a tool for sharing the gospel and connecting ways while Cardinal Tagle has many strengths his emot emotional leadership challenges some people within the church may prefer a more reserved approach to leadership especially when it comes to managing the vatican's complicated structures tagle's emotional style may not resonate with everyone compared to other Cardinals could be seen as a circles however his pastoral experience and his deep commitment make him a strong candidate for leadership in the church Cardinal Luis Antonio taga is becoming a symbol of Hope for the Catholic Church's future especially in Asia where Catholicism is spreading fast but he's not the only Contender the Catholic church in South Korea has shown exponential growth in the last 50 years there were about half a million Catholics in the country in the 1960s but today there are nearly 6 million there's another Cardinal who has caught the attention of Vatican insiders and is rumored to be a strong Contender for the papacy stay tuned to find out who this mysterious Cardinal is Cardinal Petro parolin the vatican's secretary of state is one of the most powerful figures in the Catholic

diplomacy is not just about politics it's about building relationships and finding peaceful solutions to difficult problems one of his major achievements was was helping negotiate the 2018 Vatican China agreement which focused on the appointment of Bishops in China this deal was groundbreaking as it helped ease tensions between the Vatican and the Chinese government it allows the church to work

parolin would face if he were to become Pope his diplomatic style which focuses on negotiations and political Solutions might not work with everyone especially those who believe the church needs a more pastoral spiritual ually focused leader the papacy requires someone who can connect deeply with the everyday struggles of people by offering spiritual guidance comfort some may worry that perin's

could come from this continent turksen as a cardinal from Ghana is a representative of Africa's growing growing importance in the Catholic Church his leadership could help ensure that the voices of
