This Is What the Public Thinks About Pope Francis After His Death

Pope Francis has surprised everyone with the news of his death. Last Monday, the world woke up to the news of the passing, and although the causes are not entirely clear yet, there are several hypotheses surrounding it.

First, bilateral pneumonia, "one of the most serious complications that can affect people," according to the medical journal Caeme.

Pneumonia is a condition that involves inflammation of lung tissue, usually caused by microorganisms that enter the respiratory system. This condition often affects both lungs simultaneously, and its severity can vary widely.

While in some cases it doesn't present obvious symptoms, in others it can cause mild or moderate discomfort. It can even lead to critical situations requiring specialized respiratory support.

On the other hand, according to the Italian press, there is another possible cause. More specifically, media like Corriere della Sera point to a possible stroke, although this hypothesis has not been confirmed.

A stroke, also known as a cerebrovascular accident, occurs when blood flow is interrupted or blocked in an area of the brain. As a result, the neurons in that region do not receive the oxygen or nutrients necessary for their proper functioning and survival. It is a medical emergency that requires immediate attention.

Despite the exact causes being unknown, the news has shaken the entire world, where figures from all over the world have wanted to offer condolences for the loss. For example, Santiago Abascal, Isabel Díaz-Ayuso, or even Giorgia Meloni. EDATV has gone out to the streets to ask society their opinion regarding Pope Francis.

The Candidate Who Defends Traditional Ideas

Several names are positioned as candidates in this new religious stage, and among them, Cardinal Robert Sarah stands out.

He is a man originally from Guinea who has won the affection of all those who hold traditional ideas. This is because he has positioned himself as a defender of these types of beliefs.

Born in 1945, Sarah has dedicated much of his life to the service of the Church. He has held various high-level positions in the Vatican administration.

He stands out for having presided over the Pontifical Council Cor Unum and having been prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments. A responsibility he kept until his retirement in 2021.

His theological approach is deeply rooted in tradition, which has allowed him to become a reference for those who advocate a return to a more conservative Catholic practice and doctrine. This stance, rooted in orthodoxy, contrasts with the progressive trends that have gained relevance in recent times.

Cardinal Sarah has expressed his defense of the traditional Mass. He has highlighted that it has been celebrated for more than 1,600 years. This, by figures like Saint Padre Pio, Saint Philip Neri, Saint John Vianney, Saint Francis de Sales, Saint Josemaría Escrivá, and many other saints.

Robert Sarah has warned on several occasions about the establishment of a "dictatorship of relativism," a system that denies any absolute certainty and places personal desire as the only reference. Recently, he made an urgent call to recover the sense of adoration, urging a return to kneeling with faith and wonder before the divine mystery.
