In the genre of the funeral of Pope Francis, the dean of the Cardinal College Giovanni Battista R.E., having looked at the achievements of the Argentinean pontiff, left the leading principles for the next pontificate and playing for the “church open to all”.
What problems should the next dad face?
Device
Over these twelve years of the pontificate, and although the cardinals do not want to admit this, the church, divided into two wings, was seen another moderate and another more conservative, it is very important with the openings of Francisco.
“An important element that occurs at this time is to have a guarantor of the unit in the church, despite the variety present in Catholicism, therefore, a unit of unity,” explains Roberto Regooli, a professor of the church of the Church of the Pontificated University of Gregorian.
Thus, many analysts tend to confirm that 134 cardinals that will enter the chapel of Sistin will choose a moderate dad.
“I think they will choose a temperate pope who promises to correct the disagreement and confuse,” said the historical and theologian Lutta Scaraffia in an interview with Il Reformista on Monday.
The participation of women
With Pope Francis, the option of the priesthood of women was almost categorically closed, but also the likelihood that the female deaconate, some tasks that already occupy, for example, laity, and this was considered as a way to close women to a greater extent in the life of the Church.
A possible female deaconate, along with the great presence of women in power positions, will be another problem.
The appointment of Simona Brackbill in January 2025 as a prefect or “minister” of a dicsteror for the sanctified life and society of apostolic life, on which all religious orders, and not the cardinal, as it was until, was that many of the church hiccups did not like.
Regooli explains that the question of women in the church largely depends on the society we are talking about, because the position in the West differs from the position of Africa or Latin America.
“In the West, we still know about the difficulties of women to make a career in the world of labor, so this is rather a matter of society and, obviously, also a question in the church,” he says.

Blessings for homosexual steam
If the document created units in the Catholic Church, then it was the “Fydyuchen tormentors”, the text published in the Congregation for the doctrine of the faith, which explained that it could be blessed for couples considered “irregular” for the church, including the same gender.
“This document revealed different positions in the Catholic Church, and if we want to see in a long -term vision, this was the first time that the church in Africa was able to express a common position and show that he wanted to contribute to the universal church. This is interesting for the first time, no doubt, ”Regooli explains.
The African church contradicted this document and requested the explanations of Pope Francis. The next dad will have to respond to bishops of one of the continents where Catholicism continues to grow.
China and the USA
At the diplomatic level, the agreement that during the pontificate of Jorge Bergolo was signed with China to agree on the appointment of bishops and was renewed was considered a milestone for the approach between the two countries that have no diplomatic relations and the protection of Catholics.
Nevertheless, many in the Catholic Church do not agree that Beijing has a vote in the election of the bishop and especially the US administration, which also at that time increased its criticism of dialogue with China.
Relations with the United States and his current President Donald Trump will be another of the diplomatic moments, because Francisco and his Secretary of State Pietro Passolin made it clear that in such problems as anti -migrant politicians and a reduction in international cooperation.
Finance
Among the revolutions made by Francisco are the finances of the Vatican, with transparent work, especially in the Ior (Vatican Bank), although the next pontiff will have to solve the problem of empty executions, and a genuine review of expenses, since donations to the church have significantly declined.
