At the moment, we have seen only smoking that emerges from the chimneys of the Sistine chapel, and, as is usually the case with the first, black smoking. There are those who say that today we will have a white fumata. You cannot know for sure. Meanwhile, having bet on what will be a cardinal that will stand like a dad after that conclave They continue to set fire to. There was a lot of talk about them, especially about their position on a particular topic. Personally, I am interested in scientific problems, so I fulfilled the search for some Favorite cardinals On this topic. First of all, you know what they think about him Climate changeAlthough some entered to give their point of view in other areas.
In fact, one of those who spoke the most about science is the favorite of reviews, Italian Pietro ParolinThe field like many others, he defended actions against climate change; But, in addition, he introduced other problems, supporting The work of scientists and their contribution to human development.
Usually Most conservative cardinals These are those who show less sympathy for science or directly avoid talking about it. Although there are some exceptions, of course. There is everything in this conclave, so it will be better for us to see it with some examples.
Pietro Parolin, Favorite Conclave
Italian cardinal Pietro Parolin This is something more conservative than Pope Franciso, but he shares part of his liberal vision with certain topics of the Church. This is part of a group of cardinals that openly expressed their opinion on climate change and their Protection of actions used to combat it.
In his case, in addition, he emphasized that people should know about our responsibility for what is happening with the planet, and act as soon as possible, if we do not want to lose it, as we know it. It has been added to all this that in 2019 the initial conference TRIESTE Open Europe (ESOF) Forum. There, he called on state and private researchers to continue to work under the leadership of faith. We cannot forget that it is church and as such, it is logical that it includes religion in his own speech. Despite this, worthy of attention, which was surrounded by scientists by this moment. Without a doubt, if dad comes out, this will not be one of those who constantly attack science.
Luis Antonio Tagl, Francisco Asia
The Cardinal of the Philippine is known in this way, because many of his positions resemble the positions of the late Pope Francis. As far as he refers, he is a firm defender of climatic actions. First of all, he sought to disseminate the problems of the disproportionate effect of enhanced storms in climate change in Poor communitiesHe always supported international climatic actions and, in fact, demonstrated it today, when he was the president International Karitas, Refusing the organization’s investment in fossil fuel.
As for other branches of science, in some interviews he admitted that before studying theology I wanted to be a doctor. This may indicate that it is favorable for the achievements of science and health. This can be partially, but it is true that he performed Reproductive health bill Of the Philippines, with whom it was planned to distribute a free population of contraception and information about family planning. Of course, he also opens against abortion, given that the embryo is a person from the first moment. It departs from science; But at least it seems that with a climate change, he supports the right path.
Peter Terksson, the first black dad?
There are several black cardinals, but many people defend that Peter Terksson, from Ghana, maybe The first color of potatoes in history.
He is a rather liberal candidate who demonstrated his support for science at many levels. On the one hand, it was one of the editors Laudato yesEncyclic, proposed by Pope Francis to take care of the natural environment. He also spoke with numerous conferences in the environment of the environment, and participation in the meetings is as important as COP21 or economic forum of Davos. And, if it was not enough, he is a chancellor Papal Academy of Sciences.
Malcolm Randit, climate -activist, but a little conspiracy
Randit is part of the conclave cardinals that protect climatic actions. First of all, he demonstrated great activity against pollution, To which he baptized as the worst cancer of mankind. In addition, Cardinal Burme More renewable energy And fight against Forest cutting down.
In other areas of science, this chooses a little more for a conspiracy. For example, he is a strong defender of the hypothesis that the virus Covid-19 He was deliberately created in the laboratory. This is emotionally, so at one time he asked for an investigation before the United Nations to take measures against who did it.
Robert Sarah, much more conservative black dad
Of all the black cardinals of Conclave, Peter Terksson and Robert Sarah are favorites that will be called dad. Nevertheless, his position is opposed in many senses. While the first is considered quite liberal, the Guinean Robert Sara is radically different. He has a much more conservative position, which focuses, first of all, on its opposition to sexual education and abortionHe demonstrated great activity against both issues, and also against which he always defines as “gender ideology”.
As for his position regarding climate change, at that time he signed the stolen “yes”, but emphasizing that the church should not give priority for social issues, such as this, or allow its involvement to rotate around them.
Peter Erd, another of the most radicals of conclave
Hungarian Peter Erd is one of the favorite cardinals of conservative groups. He barely made statements related to science. Not even climate change. However, he has a great connection with the prime minister of Hungary Víktor OrbánWhich demonstrated great climatic activity.
In short, in this conclave there are all types of scientific positions. It may seem unimportant, but without science we are nothing. The position of the new dad on this issue is much more important than it seems.
