Knol is an unpredictable -famous business – and once again the cardinal selection of Robert Francis Prevost when the new Pope surprised many people.

Just chosen Pope Leo XIV Winning the consensus of 133 cardinal voters after only four ballots – a quick process for diverse Cardinals colleges.

Although his name has been circulating among several Vatican observers, other cardinal has emerged as a clear leading runner, including Pietro Parolin – number two of the Vatican who will become the first Italian in almost 50 years who became a pope – or Luis Tagle, a Cardinal Philippines who wanted to become the first Asian Pope.

Conversely, it was the first North America to win a very closed process.

So, what happened behind the door covered in Sistine’s chapel?

Until Thursday, lunch, Cardinal Parolin was superior, gathered between 45 and 55 votes, said the source.

A large number, but far from the 89 votes he needed for the majority of two -thirds.

At this point, Cardinal Prevost has between 34 and 44 votes.

But when the Italian player struggled to foster his support for the first three rounds of voting, he resigned from the race, supporting the prevost instead, Sky News understood.

Internal battles between Luis Tagle and Pablo Virgilio David – both cardinals originating from Asia – canceling their two opportunities.

And challengers from Africa – the most conservative sector in the church – is never possible for conclave where the majority of the cardinal has been appointed by FrancisProgressive Pope, Source said.

An American Pope has long been seen as very unlikely, given the power of US geopolitics.

But Cardinal Prevost is able to attract all groups that make up voters: Moderate US Cardals, South American Cardinals and many European cardinals are all united around them.

Italian newspaper La Repubblica said the prevost “certainly attracts cross -party preferences, both ideologically and geographically”.

“In the Konklave he is the at least American American: Born in Chicago, he lives 20 years in Peru,” the newspaper said.

He added: “As a man who is used for teamwork, prevost appears to many people as the right person to make the paption develop into a more collegial form.”
