Who really cares? Ottaviani was not Pope, was he? He couldn't have been elected Pope on a bet. The fact is that, after John XXIII's death, the conclave wanted a Pope who would continue Vatican II. They knew Montini would.

That's the Holy Spirit speaking, pal.

Dear sinkspur,

"Who really cares? Ottaviani was not Pope, was he?"

Which fact really vitiates HDMZ's hallucinatory conspiracy theory. One doesn't go through all that trouble to "change" what can be directly countermanded by a superior authority.
