After our 2021 Confirmation Mass at which Cardinal Turkson was present, he spoke to the students about the Popes, his position in the Vatican, and more. May 1, 2021
I met Cardinal Turkson. Besides being a highly intelligent, articulate man, he is kind and humble with a great sense of humor. God bless you always Cardinal.
Wow, what an EXCEPTIONAL person! Although not a Catholic (I was raised Anglican but frankly almost completely fail with belief of any stripe), I have studied the Church extensively - its personalities and characters both historic and current, its architecture, rituals, language, politics - internal, interfaith and secular, its influence. Even the development of its dress and garb. However, whilst the Church as a whole may well be tremendously fascinating as "an object of study" I believe it quite simply as a colossal but diffuse moral force. While the various scandals which have peppered the Church's existence have been problematic, in many ways they are understandable (if hardly condonable) human failures and at the same time, give those left standing an even greater burden to shoulder (which serves to increase and intensify that moral force) - forging on, trying to win the match, even with their teammates scoring own goals. I struggle greatly with the concept of the various Councils - nothing more more than clouds of hot gas expelled in the nuancing of the finest theological points as if one side's theory were more provable and correct than the other's, like it's a physics experiment! And don't get me started on the Bible which probably counts as a marvellous work of literature (found in the Fiction section). It is even possible the literal human individual person of Jesus is actually not historic, but a composite. Despite these gaping holes in my perception of the very fabric of religion, somehow the overall impression I get is something to be thankful for, an appreciation of its existence and an acknowledgement that it would be missed, greatly, if no longer there. Cardinal Turkson is a true leader and shining example to humanity. He would undoubtedly feel extremely uncomfortable if I said "Christ-like" but that is nevertheless the sensation he engenders. And that for me is the crux - I am sure, with his hyper intelligence, advanced post doctoral degrees and years of running a big department, he could, if pressed, explain the most arcane and esoteric doctrinal concepts to anyone who asked. But for me, it is not through being preached at or told to believe this or that - it is simply the sheer humility - and strength - which compel. God save him.
Why is TH-cam and others pushing for Cardinal Turkson to be the next Pope. Apparently Turkson believes he should be elected Pope. This is very arrogant on his part. The Holy Spirit chooses the Pope.
@@iBEEMprojectI LISTENED TO THE WHOLE SPEECH OR HOMILY, I THINK HE ONLY COMPARED THEIR BACKGROUNDS, WHICH SHOULDN'T BE A CHALLENGE. THE CARDINAL IN MY OPINION DIDN'T DO ANYTHING WRONG. HE CONCLUDED NICELY BY ASKING THE PEOPLE TO USE THEIR DIVERSE BACKGROUNDS TO BUILD THE KINGDOM OF GOD. LONG LIVE CARDINAL TURKSON, LONG LIVE THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH. BLESSED BE GOD FOREVER.
Nonsense! Cardinal Turkson never said thus, stop saying something you do not know. Besides the Cardinal is very very qualified to become the Pope. If there are calls for his election, it is not from him but from those who feel he deserves it. I strongly believe that Africa is ripe enough to produce a Pope, if not Cardinal Turkson then it should be Cardinal Sarah

Why is TH-cam and others pushing for Cardinal Turkson to be the next Pope. Apparently Turkson believes he should be
elected Pope. This is very arrogant on his part. The Holy Spirit chooses the Pope.
Why do you accuse him of something he never did?
Comparing the Popes is a big mistake coming from a Cardinal
