'It would be fun to have a Swedish pope but I think it's pretty unlikely'

Swedish cardinal Anders Arborelius is considered to be among the potential favourites to succeed Pope Francis. But if you ask him, it's highly unlikely.

Anders Arborelius, Sweden's cardinal and bishop of the Catholic diocese of Stockholm, is one of the candidates to become the next pope. But many hope he won't. "It's a terrible job," says Tommy Thulin, who was previously the diocese's financial director.

The Swedish Cardinal Anders Arborelius has been mentioned as a possible successor to the Pope. He himself judges his chances. – There is probably a little nationalism light in this, but I think it is highly unlikely.

He will be the first Swede ever to participate in the conclave's top-secret work of electing a new pope. Sweden's and the Nordic region's only cardinal, Anders Arborelius, has himself grown tired of the question of whether he could possibly succeed Pope Francis.
