Just a hunch. Came to me in my sleep! No, I was NOT dreaming. That is I THINKING in my sleep. 😇 Over the decades I have trained my mind to do some thinking while I am asleep. It is part of my 'Brain Meditation' regime. Such a waste for all of my brain to be idle just because I am sleeping.
Just a hunch. I can't be sure.
I don't think he will try to emulate 'Francis' by taking on a brand new name.
I think 'Tagle', being Asian, serious & sober, is more conservative and reserved than Francis.
I don't think he will try to impress or shock.
That is part of the reason why Paul VII makes sense.
Paul VI, for his 'faults', was a consequential pope. I think Tagle would like to be like that.
Plus there is the OBVIOUS 'Vatican II' link. Being Paul VII is a more subtle way of saying that he wishes to follow Vatican II precepts rather than becoming 'John XXIV'.
He will not want to be 'Francis II'. That would be too political, too contentious.
Being Paul VII will suit him.
I wish him the best. The first pope from the FAR EAST (as opposed to the Middle East).
