I think its more Putin's attempt to raise himself up as the Orthodox God Emperor plus the godless threat of Emperor Xi. Yes Tagel would win the hearts of Philippine Catholics. But Prevost can get the American's to use the Navy to protect the Philippine Catholics. That sort of calculation.I mentioned that and yeah, I think it's some sort of geopolitics. Thing is though, His Holiness has not been the biggest fan of Trump so that makes me think they're more worried about America than China and Russia. Wouldn't be surprised if the news from India spooked them since that's two nuclear powers fighting.
Historically the Church is not above a bit of Hegemony and playing power games. It's in Rome for a reason.
