Based solely on who's been getting attacked in the Italian media, the papal frontrunners in order are:
1. Parolin
2. Tagle
3. Pizzaballa
(Note that the actual criticisms of the first are very substantiated, in the second case there may or may not be substance, and in the third case are extremely unsubstantiated and would only cast him in a more favorable light were they to actually be true)
@ArdainianRight Surprised Parolin gets attacked. If he’s Pope, it will be pretty bad.

Pizzaballa is attacked because the last thing they want is a Catholic pope.
@Simpadoo
Parolin is getting attacked by all factions for being turbocorrupt, among other things. Pizzaballa being relevant enough to warrant a transparent Lavender Mafia smear is a good thing.
