Why does he think the world is interested? There was little chance of him being elected Pope; he didn't get the votes. Unfortunately for him, he was taken up by the Liberal Catholic press and used as a battering ram against Pope John Paul II. If anything guaranteed he would not be a runner in the conclave it was that. He should be remembered for being a major biblical scholar and an outstanding Archbishop of Milan who had a profound influence and appeal for young people. He taught them to read scripture, pray and do good works among the destitute. The solemn liturgies in the cathedral were well celebrated, too. The fruit of his time there lies in the future. His neophytes will make good Catholic parents and stable members of society. But I don't anticipate theme getting excited by lace and birettas, even though Cardical Martini wore both.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-22865828860631579542007-07-31T14:42:00.000+01:002007-07-31T14:42:00.000+01:00Of course he won't celebrate in the Extraordinary ...Of course he won't celebrate in the Extraordinary Form - he'd have to wear a chasuble, for starters.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-64794474903437122282007-07-31T14:02:00.000+01:002007-07-31T14:02:00.000+01:00Who's making him?Who's making him?Fr Justinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11453464347435181524noreply@blogger.com
