Edit: the worst Dominican since Giordano Bruno is no longer papabile and retired last month as Bergoglio finally accepted his resignation. Could it be that Freemason respecter and Stepensdom Rector Anton Faber could be the next Archbishop?
[Aleteia] On January 22, 2025, Pope Francis accepted the resignation of Cardinal Christoph Schönborn. The Austrian prelate is retiring on his 80th birthday after 30 years as head of the Archdiocese of Vienna. Pending the appointment of his replacement, the archdiocese is entrusted to an apostolic administrator, Fr. Josef Grünwidl, 62, one of the current episcopal vicars.
In accordance with canon law, Cardinal Schönborn loses his status as elector at the end of the day of his 80th birthday. The College of Cardinals now has 138 electors and 114 non-electors.
The Pope's decision to wait until Cardinal Schönborn's 80th birthday, despite health problems, before accepting his resignation is a sign of the Austrian Primate's important place in the College of Cardinals. The cardinal tendered his resignation five years ago, in line with the canonical retirement age for bishops, which is set at 75.

They are not giving it to another kraut this soon.
If an Italian doesn't snag it, they will go with East Asia.
Cardinal Christoph Schönborn may no longer vote but he may still be elected Pope as can any cleric in the Catholic Church whether they are at the Conclave or not. It has happened before.
