"The article which you posted earlier this month from the Washington Post and originally published in the west in The Times of London in late December said "Pope to Change Rules for Sainthood." Period. Now it's become "Will a future pope....""

"I spoke with the pope about this issue some years ago,..."

Get your timetable in order.

This Pope has been known to change his mind before, e.g., Holy Communion in the hand and altar girls.

It is. Although the person quoted in the article says he spoke with the Pope "some years ago", my understanding of the passage is that nothing has changed.

This Pope has been known to change his mind before, e.g., Holy Communion in the hand and altar girls.

So he might change his mind? Is that the top and bottom of this? If the Pope has changed his mind, I'd like to see the evidence.

Otherwise my point remain valid.

Specifically, previous articles stating that this was a done deal are now giving way to speculation about a "future pope" doing it.

All this was brought about by Bertone giving his opinion to the media.
