Reply #41: More info on potential new Pope - Benedictine connection?

[Pallas180]

Well, here are some names which we haven't researched for Order of the Benedictine connection -

there's an American branch, but an international branch of the order -and you know they are not going to name an American, I don;t think - although they say the Washington DC Cardinal McCarrick is very influential.

"The names of those emerging as possible papal successors include contenders from Latin America, such as Cardinal Claudio Hummes of Brazil and Cardinal Oscar Andres Rodriguez Maradiaga of Honduras, and a Vatican official from Africa: Cardinal Francis Arinze of Nigeria.

Europeans mentioned include Belgian Cardinal Godfried Danneels, Cardinal Christoph Schoenborn of Austria and German Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger. Italian "papabili" include Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi and Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re.

(by the way, did you all know there's an olive oil, imported from Italy named "Pope Olive Oil" ? but it doesn't say what city.

Another famous Italian olive oil is Bertolli, - what city?

I think another thing to take into consideration is that historically
the Vatican has chosen rich popes so that their wealth would be left to the Church, but that may be well in the past.

So I'm wondering if any of these other names might be the connection to Benedictines and Olive Oil.
