Cardinal Robert Sarah is an ‘intellectual heavyweight’ of the next Papal conclave

Catholic News Network Vatican Correspondent Colm Flynn speculates on who the next pope may be, claiming Guinean Cardinal Robert Sarah is one of the “intellectual heavyweights” of the upcoming conclave. “Someone like Cardinal Sarah from Africa is seen as someone who has great intellectual wattage – he is one of the intellectual heavyweights in the college of cardinals, I would say,” Mr Flynn said. “People try and talk about the conservative, more traditional side of the Catholic Church, and they always fall back on the Americans, and they say 'oh the American conservatives', as if this is some kind of fringe group in the Church – that could not be further from the truth. “In Africa, when you look into the future, in this upcoming conclave, they want to see those values, those family values … not only reflected in the Catholic Church, but they want to see it supported by the Catholic Church.”
