Carolina said that the potential key to know the identity of the new pope is in the homily of Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, the Dean of the College of Cardinals who officiated at the Funeral of Pope Francis. The new Pope has to walk in the shoes of Pope Francis who incorporated the values and principles of the Second Council of Vatican of 1962-1965. Cardinal Re must have given the KEY to the world to understand who the Cardinals electors will vote for as the next pope.
