How to "Win" the Conclave

Final Thoughts About Creating Winning Conditions in the Vatican

First, I must give the boilerplate declaration: I do not in any way condone betting on the outcome of the Conclave. My goal is to do just the opposite which is to upset expectations using the art and science of competitive intelligence.

Secondly, my intention in this piece is to give advice to those I believe want what's best for the Church and her faithful. Though politics plays a big role in whose agenda I generally endorse or oppose, this isn't merely about politics. There is a larger conflict going on in this world and thus far the Catholic Church has been playing out its part on what I believe is the wrong side of history. Though I'm open to the fact I may be wrong about everything. Please tell me how in the comments, if that's your reaction.

My previous piece was about using Grok to conduct virtual "black hats" (competitive intelligence term for simulated negotiations) under various conditions to see how the election could play out. The results were resoundingly in favor of those candidates whose agendas are focused on mainly killing the Church by watering down its teachings and doctrines and basically turning it into an nonthreatening facsimile that any Communist regime would be fine having operate within its borders. This was somewhat distressing.

This conclusion was further bolstered by the data collected and presented by The New Pope Project which shows how Cardinal Parolin appears to hold all the cards.

Perhaps one of the best pieces of data in that collection was a list of all the Cardinal electors, which I discovered to my shame I had wrong. In my work compiling the list cardinal electors with Grok, neither Grok nor myself did due diligence on the list. This is a major failing on my part. To quote the intelligence community maxim, "I regret the error."

In the end, it wasn't a terrible mistake. This is because the Black Hat was a large scale simulation of a series of voting rounds where complicated politics played a role. It didn't matter that a few of the lesser-known cardinal electors were the names of people who had long ago retired -- especially if their successor was an unlikely candidate to begin with. What mattered were the main players and the large scale simulations.

But I've learned my lesson. One big drawback with Grok is that you only get 18 interactions within a two-hour period. Exceed that, and you're asked to pay for a premium account or wait another two hours. I've had to play this waiting game a number of times throughout this process. Yesterday was one of those times.

Over the course of three sessions that lasted into the night, I had to keep reminding Grok to finish what it started. I would ask it to complete a certain task, like compiling my new data, or run a simulation, and Grok would get about 20% of the way through before just... stopping.

A good part of my interactions were just reminding Grok to, "Please continue." Grok stopped time and again in mid sentence or mid-table and required me to waste an interaction merely to remind it that it wasn't done. It was like dealing with a narcoleptic super genius. Because of this, I wasn't able to incorporate the full scope of data that I gathered for full analysis. The Conclave is already nigh, and now speed is of the essence.

Enough of that. Let's get to the battle plan.

I think there are a number of things that the cardinal electors who care about the state of the Church can focus on to increase the chances of electing a less combative, less chaotic, and more Catholic pope than Francis. These are arguments that need to be made to the Cardinals through the form of charitable critiques.

I. Examine Francis' Leadership Style

As pope, Francis admitted that he had a harsh dictatorial streak. It's clear that as his papacy wore on, it grew worse rather than better. He was hesitant to hear constructive criticism. He was a micro-manager. He never wasted an opportunity to attack faithful Catholics while bending over backwards to embrace non-Catholics who may have appreciated the overtures but were not being convinced to joining the Church. This is because Francis embraced a theology of indifference with regards to other religions or agnostic outlooks. History has shown time and again that this is not helpful, as we'll see.

As Dinesh D'Souza has pointed out, Francis' role seems to have been to serve as the world's missionary to the Church rather than the other way around.

But on top of this, he cultivated an image of being humble and gentle. A factor that Raymond Arroyo has pointed out on numerous occasions was not exactly warranted. A major point is the way the media fawned over Francis for leaving the papal residence to live in the nearby Casa Santa Marta which was actually reserved for the cardinals. The papal residence is actually the more austere of the two. But he took the more comfortable of locations and got lauded by the MSM for being humble. Nice play.

Francis also increasingly relied on laypeople to play major roles in the Church hierarchy, effectively sidelining the cardinals themselves and possibly fomenting a new system that would do away with cardinals altogether.

And, while he focused on increasing representation among the cardinals from the "periphery" nations including his own "global south," the cardinals were never called together -- a fact that is likely to massively impact this conclave.

II. Examine the State of the Church

It's a shameful fact that Europe, where the Church has always been most historically influential, is now losing Catholics at an alarming rate. When compiling Catholic population data for each of the cardinal electors, where the data was available, the number of Catholics in those areas is falling like a stone. Europe is secularizing and a world without God will either fall or invite new gods to act as the proverbial religious strongmen. In the face of this challenge, those who have been shepherding the decline of Catholicism for decades now, the European cardinals, largely endorse capitulation to the secular order.

But where does that lead? Embracing this Euro-defeatism makes the Church a meaningless endeavor at best. At worst, it ties the Church to the scandalous excesses of the secular world.

One great example of this is would be to look at the Church's response to the Covid shutdowns and the Covid vaccines. The message was always: comply, comply, comply. As a result after the lock downs, neither Protestant nor Catholic churches fully recovered. Only those churches whose pastors chose to remain faithful to God by remaining open gained in the post-COVID era.

Similarly, Francis' endorsement of the Covid vaccine further slathered on the stink of globalist establishmentarianism. This papacy brought to you by Pfizer! Add his attempts to theologize dubious global warning theories, and he truly comes across as a creature of the world and not of God.

Ironically, it's a world that is increasingly embracing deglobalization. The taxpayer boondoggle of USAID has been shut off. Now, the Church is in the process of being what GK Chesterton says is "fully divorced from the world" to which it was once married.

Keep in mind that's after it was revealed in 2023 that the Vatican is operating at a $87 deficit. The Church's finances are so poor, that the Vatican is struggling to pay pensions and may have to soon declare bankruptcy.

If the Vatican was operating on multimillion dollar deficit before DOGE shut off access to billions of dollars in funding, what does it look like now? One shudders to think.

III. The Solution

These are major factors that desperately need focused attention from Church leadership. These are major issues that were either indirectly or directly caused by Francis' style of leadership and/or his operating worldview. The seriousness of these problems cannot be ignored. It is a matter of the survival for the Church. Raising these issues also, incidentally, radically alters the lay of the land in terms of who should become the next pope.

What's more, no sincere member of the faith can brush off these points as mere propaganda or politics without coming across as a great insincere fool. (But expect the followers of WEF mandates to do just that.) To summarize, these are the problems:

1. The Church is shrinking. There are fewer followers and even fewer priests in seminary.

2. The Church is dangerousl poor and, if unable to resort to more traditional forms of fundraising (ie, tithes instead of NGOs) she will declare bankruptcy and become unable to pay out pensions to her priests. No one wants to work for an organization that can't pay its employees.

3. Much of this is due to Francis' leadership style (dictatorial) and his priorities (recreating the already existing Protestant church within the Catholic Church).

So the traits that will recommend someone as the right man for the job based solely on these secular concerns will have the following traits:

1. He will come from an area of the world where the population of Catholics are growing, the three biggest being Africa (by a wide margin), Oceania, and Latin America. Someone from a growing region will bring with him the knowledge and tools for expanding the Church's evangelization mission as opposed to apologizing for it as Francis did.

2. He will have a demonstrated capacity for fiscal management to handle the Church in its current state of financial crisis.

3. He will be a competent leader and lack the traits of a bad manager (ie, micromanaging, not listening, not delegating, and not trusting).

It's true that Open Source data alone can't give us a perfect picture of who among the cardinals most meets this description. But by applying the methods of OSINT and competitive intelligence, we can tweak the picture we have to get us closer.

IV. Applying New Data

As far as finding someone from a growing region is concerned, we have the imperfect tool of an article relaying the top lines for the Vatican's own biennial research on that issue. Ideally we would consult the full data contained in the Annuarium Statisticum Ecclesiae 2023, but it apparently is only available for order in hardcopy. I have neither the time nor the money for that. So I'm going with the top line in the reveals in the article which gives those numbers by broad region. I created a 1-10 scale with Africa's 3.31% growth rate at the high end giving it a 10 and Europe's 0.28% at the low end with a one. The other regions I've assigned numbers based on this scale. I arbitrarily divided North from South America, giving US/Canada lower growth scores than Latin America as I believe that region is carrying the water for the New World.

As far as how the scale breaks out, it isn't even close. African nations score a 10 while their nearest competitor only scores a 6, given that each score on the scale is separated by .331. Latin America scores 4 and North America scores 3.

Because no data is given for the Middle East, I assumed that was bad news -- either no or negative growth. They got zeroes.

Any cardinal who works in the Vatican also got zeroes. Because they're failures and facilitated this decline. Disqualified!

Also, a curious thing happens when you do this. Apparently Europe in general and Italy in particular are way over-represented by cardinals. This means that most Italian and European cardinals are shepherding flocks of laughably small numbers, from the tens to hundreds of thousands. Notice Europe is the geographic locus of the ideological rot within the Church ideologically as well as in terms of numbers. This is no coincidence. This criteria then is a great way to naturally and apolitically weed these faltering failures out.

Fiscal management and leadership can both be found in their competence generally in matters of leadership. So I found the total number of Catholics in each cardinal's archdiocese. Obviously, the larger the numbers, the more experienced and competent the leader and the more likely they are to be transparent on matters of finance.

If they stink at leadership, they're probably working in the Vatican. Disqualified!

So this one stat helped us flesh out points 2 and 3.

Again, when this scale is applied, a curious thing happens. The progressives sort of disappear to the bottom of the pile. It's another apolitical criteria that addresses an important problem.

But then I noticed something rather shocking. This exactly the kind of criteria that would've boosted a certain Jorge Bergolio in 2013. Large flock in a growing region. And someone like Cardinal Sarah whose flock is in the 300,000s, wouldn't have compared to a South American cardinal again. True, he's in a region of stronger growth, but how much can we say that Guinea is responsible for that impressive 3.31% increase?

And if Bergolio ran a diocese of considerable size, why didn't we catch him as a bad leader?

What data could we add that would help figure this out?

In comes our third data point: corruption. According to the Corruption Perception Index, in the year of Bergolio's ascension, 2013, Argentina ranked 100th for corruption. With 1 being the least corrupt, that's definitely a low ranking.

I know from experience that working in a corrupt government can change how you interact with the world. People raised in Communist countries, for instance, are perpetual liars. It's a deeply-ingrained survival instinct. Bergolio was a major faith leader in one of the most corrupt countries on the planet at the time. I think it's fair to say that he got to where he was because of a certain degree of drive, cunning, and ruthlessness. And I think that shaped his leadership style to some degree.

This is not to say that faith leaders in all highly corrupt nations are necessarily bad men or bad leaders. But it does speak to general expectations as to what you can make happen and how. Someone from a more corrupt society will by nature be less trusting and more likely to engage in subterfuge if they feel threatened.

I think this is a fair factor to consider at least when looking at candidates from a thousand-foot altitude. Ideally, we would want someone who comes to the table with certain expectations about things like fairness and transparency. Such traits would most likely be fostered in a nation where corruption is not the norm.

V. The Final Simulation

Like I said, Grok was very prone to bouts of sleeping while we worked on this so I limited my exploration to just one round of voting simulations. The criteria I gave:

1. Screw everyone in the Vatican. They can't be eligible for cardinal. But they can still vote.

2. Candidates have to come from archdioceses with a flock size of at least 1 million (generous given the average is over 3 million).

3. Higher growth rate is better.

4. Lower corruption rate is better. No one from a country over 100 (Argentina's old rank) should be considered.

Then we ran the simulation.

The winner? Antoine Kambanda of Rwanda in eleven rounds.

Rwanda is an interesting choice. Kambanda had to flee the country because of the genocide and something tells me a pope who has personal experience dealing with violent tribalism might be just what the world needs now. He's a Francis appointee, from the "global south", and is managing a higher than average size flock of 5 million faithful in a highly robust region of the world. Roughly 20% of the world's Catholics are from Africa right now. Ordained by Pope St. John Paul II and elevated by Pope Francis himself, he seems like a good unity choice for "continuity" sake. Regarding doctrine, as he's listed as a "moderate conservative." In addition, Rwanda's corruption rank is about 43, which is bad, but better than 2013 Argentina.

If Rwanda feels a bit too troubled to go with, another choice might be Cardinal Fernando Chomali Garib. Garib has serious pro-life chops. As a bioethicist in an age of human-feeling computers and an increasing threat of genetic and gender manipulation, he might be the voice the world needs. Plus he has a background in civil engineering and we live in a world where churches are being burned down all the time. He might be the engineer to "rebuild" the Church. He was well-like by Francis and was successful in confronting the pontiff over some moves he made regarding a pedophile priest in his country of Chile. Claiming to be the personal friend of an abuse victim, he might be the pedo scourge we've been waiting for. He has unity cred as well being promoted by Pope Benedict XVI and elevated by Pope Francis. Chile's corruption score is only 43 and Garib's flock is larger than Kambanda's at 7 million. Downplay the regional growth score for these other two points and he rises easily to the top. And, he allows the practice of the old Latin rite. Altogether a sober and interesting choice.

So that's what happens when you prioritize the survival and well-being of the Church on purely secular terms. The weirdo progs disappear from the scene entirely and the college of cardinals is suddenly flush with more rational and capable moderate liberals and conservatives. The beauty is that the arguments are apolitical and promote good people who are competent leaders.

Bringing up these deficiencies in Francis' leadership style and the current difficulties of the Church go a long way towards disqualifying those who were closest to Francis and served as his collaborators. This turns the strength of position as a high-ranked cardinal into a weakness, and opens the path to leaders who can rescue the Church from Boomer bromides and self-defeating Lefty platitudes.
