Dr. Jules Gomes, the Rome correspondent of Church Militant, joins Dr. Gavin Ashenden for this eighth episode of our Merely Catholic podcast series for the Catholic Herald. They reflect on the new appointments to the College of Cardinals. Almost two-thirds of its members have now been appointed by Pope Francis.
 
Dr. Gomes identifies the workings of a politically radical reformist agenda in the appointments and says the new generation of Francis-clone cardinals will advance the changes of the Bergoglian era at any forthcoming conclave to elect Francis’s successor. That would be the time, he says, to “watch out for rainbow-colored smoke.”
