I've said this before but it bears repeating. I think the new cardinals from these previously underrepresented countries are a wildcard. I don't think we can easily chart them on the standard liberal/conservative scale that we in the west are so fond of reverting to. 

In places where the Church is both poor and a minority, the perspective is different. I think Pope Francis understands that and believes the College of Cardinals needs that perspective. I honestly doubt he sees it in political terms, but in terms of needing to remain close to the roots of the Gospel -- the "poor Church for the poor" of which he so often speaks.
