Damien Thompson (in a recent article in the Spectator UK) is under the impression that a bunch of cardinals want Francis to step down, but they're poised to put in Vatican Secy of State Parolin --- which is like sweeping Saruman aside, and going straight to Sauron.

None of this is taking God by surprise. He will rescue His Bride. But we have to be prepared to lay down our lives.
