Cardinal Pietro Parolin already sets the Roman Curia in case he becomes Pope, convinces the Italian paper "Il Tempo". The current Secretary of State is to indicate who will fill the key posts.

The writer Luigi Bisignani convinces that Pietro Parolin is preparing an crucial office for the Hungarian cardinal Peter Erdö. The Metropolitan of Budapest would become Secretary of State, which would replace Parolin himself in this function.

According to Bisignani, in this way Parolin would like to calm the conservatives, indicating that the tandem Parolin-Erdö would lead the Church a calm, predictable road. There will be no “reconquist”, but there will besides be no excesses. The deputy cardinal Erdö, who has no diplomatic experience, was to be the prelate Gabriele Giordano Caccia, now a permanent observer of the Holy See at the UN, unlike Hungary very well acquainted with Vatican diplomacy. According to an Italian journalist, Cardinal Parolin was besides expected to propose that the Dicastery of the Doctrine of religion under his regulation would fall into the hands of any conservative purple man; the names of Willem Eijk from the Netherlands or Malcolm Ranjith from Sri Lanka are to be mentioned.

Cardinal Raymond Leo Burke would besides return to the Roman Curia for an crucial post, which would besides be understood as a bow to US president Donald Trump. According to the writer “Il Tempo” in the Vatican, there would besides be area for Cardinal Luis Antonio Tagle, who, however, would not play a very crucial function – she would be given a symbolic or possibly educational position to be far from the key issues.

According to Bisignani, the message of Parolin, who would bet on Cardinal Erdö as Secretary of State, could be expressed more or little like this: “I rule, he guards the doctrine; I represent the center, he guarantees continuity.” According to the Il Tempo, it is hard to recognise it as a “dream pontificate”, but in these times, “it can be a truce that is needed”.
