It came from a Roman Catholic friend, inviting me to share \"what a 'Lutheran elector' would be looking for in the next pope.\" Is there some cardinal, anxious to hear a word from faithful voices beyond the boundaries of the Roman Catholic church? I can't imagine a Lutheran being invited personally inside the conclave as an elector, or even as a delegate-observer. But perhaps it is not too much to dream that insights from a Lutheran might be taken into consideration, even if spoken in the quiet pre-conclave conversations in which the real electors are engaged and not during the conclave itself. So I replied to my friend, and thought I might share those reflections more publicly here as well, as they touch on much of what PrayTellBlog readers regularly discuss.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/praytellblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/pt.jpg","thumbnail_width":411,"thumbnail_height":90}
