Shouldn't pick Pope from the college of cardinals then. I have a really bad feeling about this conclave and an even bigger disaster befalling the Church. Please God this doesn't happen!! What's the chances of Archbishop Vigano getting elected?

Indeed, even Taylor Marshall identified 18 "Cardinals" who are quasi-conservative or might lean that way, but only 5 that even he considered true conservatives.  Of course, from our perspective, 3 of them were nonsense and were on the list just because they opposed the blessing of sodomite couples (and that does not suffice to make them true conservatives).

Really the only ones who MIGHT be conservative as in favoring Tridentine Mass, being against some of the V2 errors / directions, are Sarah and Burke.  That's IT.  Burke has no chance.

So the Trad, Inc. grifter types have all their hopes on Sarah ... but Marshall made it clear he'd pretty much accept anyone they rolled out (leading to suspicion that he's just a gatekeeper), and would even welcome a few of the quasi-conservatives like Erdo (friendly with Jews, anti-anti-Semitic, loves the New Mass etc.), or Pizzabolla (Ecuмenist, esp. toward Jews, no really comment about Mass, etc.), and one African guy (not Sarah, but name escapes me) who opposed blessing sodomites but has otherwise been fairly Modernist.

THIS IS THE BEST THE CONCILIAR CHURCH HAS.

So, absolutely, not a single one of these are fit to be a Catholic Pope, no, not even Sarah, because for all his "I like the Tridentine Mass" (personal preference for piety and not theological reasons) ... he's done nothing about it.

No current Conciliar bishop is fit to be Pope for the same reasons, not even a Schneider, since Schneider has done damage control for Bergoglio and IMO is controlled opposition, believing that slight corrections to V2 are all that's required.  Again, this is the best they've got.

Until something like the prophecy / vision of Anna Maria Taigi comes to pass, where Sts. Peter and Paul select the Holy Pope to end the crisis, there's no natural hope from the Conciliar Antichurch.  Now, Taigi said that they would pick the "Cardinal" that would be the pope, but that's likely just her interpretation of what she say, thinking that only Cardinals will become pope (which is normally the case) ... but I fully expect them to select someone else, undoubtedly a Traditional Catholic bishop or priest.

Of course, even there, very few Trad clergy understand the true theological roots of the crisis:  EENS and the resulting ecclesiology, and are actually on the wrong side of the issue, or else have a quasi-Old-Catholic R&R viewpoint or else an attitude of papolatry (exaggerated view of infallibility).  I fully expect the selection to come from someone who's currently not widely known to the world.

CONCLAVE MOVIE SPOILER ALERT (below)

Yeah, I know the conservative Conciliars are up in arms about the movie ... especially because of the ending, but I enjoyed it anway, and my response was that the movie is actually an accurate reflection of the current state of the Conciliar Church though not the Traditional Church.

Now, one thing I do object to is that there's the one "Traditionalist" Cardinal (an Italian), whom they say wants to return to pre-Vatican II, that most of them hate (though apparently he has some quiet support since he's getting a fair number of votes) ... but you'll notice that they portray him as an open racist (derogatory toward the Africans) and a nasty guy (slaps his one "servant" at one point).  That part I could do with out, creating such a caricature of the Traditionliast.

But the outcome of the movie ... well, it's nothing I'd put past the Conciliars to be honest, and Tagle kindof looks like the guy they roll out at the end (both in mannerisms and physical appearance).  I was not going to put a spoiler in, except your post above already does that, but the guy that reminds you of Jorge, to me it's Tagle (looks like him, has same mannerisms, very soft-spoken, rather effeminate, etc.)

There's also an African in the running (who's, for instance, portrayed as anti-sodomite so at least conservative that way) ... and they eliminate him from the running by exposing some dirt from when he was younger.

During the Conclave, various "Islamic" terror attacks are taking place, including some in the vicinity of the Conclave, as at one point the windows get smashed in due to a bomb outside, and there's some talk about fαℓѕє fℓαgs on the way ... so that would be interesting.

There was also one guy who was scheming and ambitious (White guy, not sure if European, American, or Australian) but somehow involved in (what appeared to be) financial corruption.

So, if they do roll out Tagle ... well, I'd recommend a genetic verification.

Oh, one inaccuracy apparently about the movie is that in pectore Cardinals cannot participate in the Conclave ... but IMO if Bergoglio had sent a note indicating otherwise, I'm sure they'd accept that.  They're already violating the rule that there can be no more than 120 voting Cardinals, just making up a principle that Jorge's appointments of more than that overruled that requirement (and I could see making a case for it, as otherwise you'd be excluding an arbitrary 15 or so).  I believe Jorge thought he'd be around just a bit longer, since I think that a fair number of Cardinals would have gone over 80 within the next few months (some in just days or weeks, i.e. Sarah).

But if they have some terror attacks during the Conclave and roll out Tagle ... the movie was predictive programming.

Aside from the movie, though ... if they do roll out Sarah (and Marshall is trying to lay out some kind of fantasy scenario in which that could happen ... to make it somewhat plausible?) ... it'll be a deliberate ruse to reabsorb SSPX and bring Trad, Inc. back into the fold, since they had been slouching Traditional under Bergoglio.
