The Holy Spirit duly notes your request, Dr. von Bergen, but don’t hold your breath.

"The Holy Spirit duly notes your request, Dr. von Bergen, but don’t hold your breath."

I think there was a certain Cardinal Pacelli, who had negotiated an important Concordat with the Nazis in 1933, thus removing the Church from German anti-Nazi politics, and who the Nazis had since then no particular reason to reject, and may even have found him, shall we say, somewhat acceptable?

I wonder how that Cardinal Pacelli will do when the time comes to elect a new pope?
