Let us hope that this is so.
Come to think of it, does Cardinal Pell speak Italian?

I am feeling slightly less worried now, and am becoming increasingly hopeful that we will have a very holy Pope in the next few weeks!

I know Cardinal Pell personally. He would be an outstanding Pope.
Come on, folks, contact your local Cardinal now...PELL for POPE...Put an Aussie in the Vatican!

"Those who want radical change realise that they had no hope while he was in charge and I hope with the next pope there'll be a similar sense of security." ROFL! That's what *I'm* talkin' about!

What happened to the fact that the 117 Cardinals who can take part in the conclave are bound by Canon Law not to speculate? At least that's what I have been led to believe.
Irks me.

With John Paul II gone, you can be sure that many of the loonies will be wanting to scratch a 26-year itch. There will be a noticeable upsurge in calls for married and female clergy, re-thinking Church teaching on abortion and artificial contraception, homosexuality and all the other "key" issues which the dissidents hold dear.
Expect an increase in static from the usual agitators and troublemakers.
Pell is correct, though. Although JPII is gone, his legacy looms large and will do so for years to come. This is not like a change of secular government where a new administration completely changes the direction of the ship.
JPII has left his imprint on the Church for ever more.

Does Cardinal Pell speak Italian. :^).
He certainly speaks Latin. He is chair of Vox Clara, the commission to fix the atrocious translations of the ICEL Novus Ordo (the modern liturgy). Get ready to say, "And also with your spirit," instead of "and also with you," thanks to Pell.

Is there a breakdown somewhere on the Internet of the Cardinals and where they stand on the points of contention among Catholic theologians?
