Pizzaballa is the most OP Italian name I’ve ever heard.

[Jess-pt]

If Pizzaballa becomes a Pope, he will adopt the name John, hence becoming "Papa John", pope of pizza lovers

[dbmeo]

I'm a Filipino but ngl, pope Pizza sounds good LOL.

[RichardRidder]

Pizzaballa is my hope for next pope. He has a base name and the best resume out of everyone.

[florencepierre]

May the Holy Spirit choose the right person for the pope. A pope who can carry out the mission of the Church and keep the church in unity. Spirit of light guide the cardinals and everyone who is in the church

[Verzsy]

Cardinal Pizzaballa gets elected...

Conclave: "Habemus Papam!...Cardinale, You are now Pope, what name will you take?"

Cardinal Pizzaballa: " Roni...I shall be known as Papa-roni"

😂😂😂

Love To See Tagle Become Pope. He is Young, For The People, The Church, And Other Things Pope Francis Was Working On.

[eleazarrelevo]

It’s time for Asia as a hub for catholic faithfuls! Cardinal Tagle is the Pope!

[The-E-Dude]

A White Sox fan who joined the ‘Cardinals’ later on. Nobody would have predicted that.

[David_Reyes_Flores]

Pizzaballa would be the compromise between Tagle and Parolin. Since he has both pastoral and diplomatic experience. Also being the constant observer to the ongoing war in the Holy Land

[baristermbolor]

Bookies must have made a lot of money then as non of emerged successful.

[petercullen]

No friend of Orban is a friend of humanity.

[Lachino-yf]

It would be nice to have a first Asian pope but we shouldn’t elect someone based on race or for that reason alone. I hope they choose the most qualified

How can you be close to a dictator and be considered for the position??

[AyeshaPhone]

May Pope Francis Rest in peace 😢❤. Good luck for the rest popes!
