I don't see the liberal compromise here. There's no way any cardinal espousing liberation theology will ever be chosen anyway, so hoping that you'll get a better pick after this guy dies is sort of silly.

I think he's the safe choice, and he is quite intelligent. He isn't the visionary that John Paul the Great was, but he can cary JP II's vision and principles, which is all the Church really wants out of this guy, IMO.

I was hoping they'd choose differently, but eh, I can deal.
