>>>The three nominations are quite interesting...the Prefect for Catholic Education (seminaries anyone?) and two archbishops of countries that are front and center in the homosex marriage debate. And the Pope annnounced the nominations right before leaving for Valencia.
great point, I think you are on to something. Cardinal Grocholewski (the Prefect for Catholic Education) is the one that wrote the letter last November that said the church can't allow priestly ordination of homosexuals, or of those who "gay" culture. God bless the Pope.
The gears of the Holy See turn slowly, but inexorably. This choice can't be comfortable news for the pro-abort CINOs like Pelosi, Kerry, Kennedy and Durbin. OTOH, they probably don't care. I'm sure the Holy Father is turning his attention to the American Catholic Church, and will be cleaning out the Stygian Stables that so many of our seminiarians have become.
