This is very hopeful to read from Vatican News. The part I highlight in red is extremely important in reverence to the former Pope Francis and his governing style.
Cardinals discuss economic situation of the Holy See at General Congregation
By Vatican News
The Director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni, told reporters on Wednesday that 180 Cardinals attended the seventh General Congregation, of whom 124 were Cardinal electors.
In the first part of the meeting, the Cardinals discussed the economic and financial situation of the Holy See, with contributions from Cardinals Reinhard Marx, Kevin Farrell, Christoph Schönborn, Fernando Vergez, and Konrad Krajewski.
Cardinal Marx, coordinator of the Council for the Economy, presented several challenges, issues, and proposals from the perspective of sustainability, with the goal that the economic structures continue to support the reforms of the papacy.
Cardinal Schönborn spoke as president of the IOR Oversight Commission, and Cardinal Vergez shared several details regarding the situation of the Governorate of Vatican City State, mentioning the ongoing renovation work.
Cardinal Krajewski spoke about the activities of the Dicastery for the Service of Charity.
In the second part of the General Congregation, 14 Cardinals intervened on various topics, including the ecclesiology of the people of God and the wound caused by polarization within the Church and the division in society, (division caused by) synodality and (and division synodality has brought to) episcopal collegiality (all this was discussed) as a way (to find solutions) to overcome polarization. (They also discussed) vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
Several references were made to the conciliar texts Lumen Gentium and Gaudium et Spes, and they discussed evangelization, especially focusing on the consistency between what is lived and what is proclaimed. (My comment: these two Vatican II documents are wonderful and do provide a correction to the Magisterium of the Former Pope Francis!)
The General Congregation concluded at 12:30 PM with the prayer of the Regina Coeli.

I hope for a younger, deeply spiritual, energetic, orthodox man who appreciates beauty, knows what Vatican II actually said, comfortable with the old rite and new, whose charisma will draw people to turn to God and by doing so vastly improve vocations and Church income where it is spent wisely due to serious financial reforms as the corrupt old order is swept out and told to get a real job and/or told they are now 100% free to hang around gay bars 24/7 rather than need live a secret life, while he embraces those who love both rites, encouraging both, by the book, including faith and morals.
What I will likely get is an old middle of the road functionary who dedicates himself to the status quo and attempts to not make things worse, and afraid to do anything serious for fear of upsetting various quarters, where he will follow the management decision tree of, "How can this bite me in the (fill-in-blank)?".

To be fair, this would be an improvement over the prior incumbent, whose decision tree amounted to speaking or doing something half-baked and then hurriedly applying about 60% of the amount of damage control needed.

First of all, we need a Catholic pope, someone with the humility to protect the deposit of Faith, tell the various pervert groups to "go and sin no more," abandon globalist politics and their "causes du jour" and reinstate Summorum Pontificum
