Whose names to watch out for when Cardinal Protodeacon Jean-Louis Tauran reads out the Habemus Papam (We have a Pope) announcement?
http://wdtprs.com/blog/2013/03/latin-names-of-cardinals-well-hear-one-of-these-from-the-loggia-of-st-peters/ (Thanks to Fr. Z’s blog for the latin names he provided for all the Cardinal-electors – I focused into some of them considered papabili/frontrunner)
Here is the announcement text :
Annuntio vobis Gaudium magnum. Habemus Papam! Eminentissimum ac Reverendissimum Dominum.
Dominum (First Name) Sanctae Romanae Ecclesiae Cardinalem (Surname).
Qui sibi nomen imposuit (regnal name) (number)
At the point when we listen the ‘First Name’ in fact we may already know who is the new Pope.
1. Angelum (Angelo) :
Cardinal Angelo Scola, Metropolitan Archbishop of Milan
Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, Metropolitan Archbishop of Genoa
Cardinal Angelo Amato, Prefect for the Congregation of the Causes of Saints
Cardinal Angelo Comastri, Vicar General of the Diocese of Rome
As there are several Angelo considered as Papabili, for Angelum, there is a need to wait for the surname before confirmation. Similarly with Petrum.
2. Petrum (Peter) :
Cardinal Peter Erdo, Archbishop of Esztergom-Budapest
Cardinal Peter Turkson, President of the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace
But other names are straightforward :
3. Odilonem (Odilo) :
Cardinal Odilo Pedro Scherer, Metropolitan Archbishop of Sao Paulo
4. Marcum (Marc) :
Cardinal Marc Ouellet : Prefect of the Congregation for Bishops
5. Aloisium (Alois/Luis) :
Cardinal Luis Antonio Gokim Tagle : Metropolitan Archbishop of Manila
6. Christophorum (Christoph) :
Cardinal Christoph Schonborn : Metropolitan Archbishop of Vienna
7. Ioannem Franciscum (Gianfranco) :
Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi : President of the Pontifical Council for Culture
8. Timotheum (Timothy) :
Cardinal Timothy Michael Dolan : Metropolitan Archbishop of New York
