Im so glad to see other English speakers at least, be feeling strongly about this Card. Bagnasco. Ever since i found out about him, been reading up, and i cant help but feel the holy spirit about him. Of course i trust the choice no matter the case, but its nice to see some others feel the same.

I hope Cardinal Bagnasco will be the one, he will continue the Liturgical reforms of the reform in line with what Pope Benedict XVI has begun. I really think Bagnasco is soft spoken and is interested in the Family. I think he is worthy and would do a great job. We'll see in a few weeks and all this Pope speculation will be over lol !

Cardinal Bagnasco most likely won't be elected as Pope in the coming Conclave as many see him as being the protege of Cardinal Siri but should he be elected, it would be intresting if he took the name Gregory XVII as Cardinal Siri is said to have choosen as his Papal name were he to be elected.
