Vatican charades rumour... (Main Forum)

by Brian Coyne , LINDEN, NSW, Monday, June 25, 2012, 15:05 (359 days ago)

A well-placed commentator located in Rome reckons "they're going to move Oullett from Bishops to State or CDF (still undecided which one) and Pell into Bishops after all".

Secretary of State at the moment is Tarcisio Bertone — the one at the centre of the Vatileaks scandal. Cdl William Levada heads the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith.

Don't be at all surprised if this comes about. The implications of it all for Australia are pretty devastating whichever way it all pans out. If Pell were to get a promotion to Rome who would succeed him in Australia? There are a couple with ambition but without the political skills of Pell and doubtfully short on any other skills as well. Australia may well end up in a more diabolical mess than the one it is already in. As for Pell being in charge of the appointments of bishops all around the world ... well what can anyone say? I think the faster it all happens the better. This will "bring on" the "smaller, purer Church" faster than anything that could be imagined. In the overall picture I think it ought be encouraged as a very good thing.
