2005 Conclave

In the months during which the health of Pope John Paul II failed, Cardinal Scheid, despite being a known conservative, spoke of his favor of having an African pope, which many interpreted as support for an eventual candidacy of Cardinal Arinze. At the conclave, however, although he has not revealed the inner workings of it, many believe that he might have changed his mind and supported Cardinal Ratzinger's candidacy.

At the day of his departure to Rome, for the funeral of Pope John Paul II, Cardinal Scheid granted an interview at the Rio de Janeiro International Airport that caused some discomfort: when inquired as to his opinion on President Lula as a Catholic, Scheid declared that he did not believe President Lula to be a "true Catholic", but rather "chaotic", since he did not practice or professed his faith. The president was made aware of the Cardinal's words during a layover in Recife, on his way to the Vatican as well. Lula avoided comments on the Cardinal himself or his attitude, but responded that he was indeed a Catholic and that his relationship with God was of a very personal nature, with no need for it to become a public affair.

The Brazilian press tried to explore the incident further, seizing the press conference granted in Rome by the four Brazilian Cardinal electors at the Brazilian embassy. Reporters questioned the foremost Cardinal in Brazil, Cardinal Hummes, in front of Cardinal Scheid, if he agreed with that description of the President's faith. Hummes disagreed, claiming that President Lula was "Catholic in his own way". The reporters then immediately turned to Cardinal Scheid, expecting his response, but he declined any further comments. Although that was the end of the public repercussions of Cardinal Scheid's allegations, it is reported that Cardinal Hummes was not made aware that he was commenting on a statement from Cardinal Scheid, and would have later apologized to him for discrediting his words in public (and in front of him). Some had feared that the incident could have triggered animosity between the two Cardinals, which could have jeopardized Cardinal Hummes' supposed candidacy to the succession of John Paul II.
