Opinion | Three Conservative Catholics on the Conclave and the Future of the Church
As the Catholic Church prepares for the upcoming conclave to elect a new pope, conservative Catholics are weighing in on the future direction of the Church. Here, we talk to three conservative Catholics about their thoughts on the conclave and the future of the Church.
First, we spoke to Maria, a devout Catholic who is concerned about the direction the Church has taken in recent years. “I believe that the Church has strayed from its traditional teachings and values,” she says. “I hope that the conclave will elect a pope who will bring back a focus on these teachings and lead the Church in a more conservative direction.”
Maria is not alone in her concerns. John, another conservative Catholic, echoes her sentiments. “I believe that the Church needs to return to its roots and uphold the teachings of the Bible,” he says. “I hope that the conclave will elect a pope who will prioritize these teachings and bring about a renewal in the Church.”
Finally, we spoke to Sarah, a young conservative Catholic who is hopeful about the future of the Church. “I believe that the conclave presents an opportunity for the Church to move forward in a positive direction,” she says. “I hope that the new pope will be able to unite Catholics around the world and address the challenges facing the Church today.”
Overall, these conservative Catholics are looking to the conclave with hope and optimism for the future of the Church. They believe that the election of a new pope presents an opportunity for the Church to reaffirm its traditional teachings and values and move forward in a positive direction. Only time will tell what the outcome of the conclave will be, but one thing is for certain – conservative Catholics are eager to see the Church return to its roots and uphold the teachings of the Bible.
