CWN Editor's Note: At a May 5 Mass at his titular church in Rome, Cardinal Robert McElroy said that he had “no guess” about who the next Pontiff will be.
“It has become ever clearer to me how profound and mysterious this process is, to find a successor to Peter who meets the needs of the present,” he said. “I can give you no insights into who is ahead,” he continued—“not because I cannot do so because of my promise, although I can’t, but because I have no guess.”
