They won't say anything specific about who he is, but - in private - they confirm that they have selected him.
If asked by a journalist, they will toss out some name who doesn't have a chance. The source did not explicitly name the candidate to Gloria.tv but spent a long time praising one man.
This man was Cardinal Robert Sarah who turned 77 on June 15.
Doubtlessly, Sarah would be an outstanding choice. He became an archbishop at 34, had a long experience as a diocesan bishop in very difficult circumstances (22 years), a long Curial experience (20 years), has published nine books, and … comes from Francis’ beloved “peripheries.”
