I just got a thought and it stopped me in my tracks. IF the Pope dies in Jerusalem like locutions.org says, will they have a conclave or will this Sec. of State step in as Pope? A POPE HAS TO BE ELECTED CORRECT???

Wish I could, but don't start the salsa too soon ... the present incumbent of the Secretary of State's office is still there for six weeks (I don't know what's been agreed as to whether he'll have an ongoing role in retirement), which is more than enough for much to happen. Especially if, as many people are suggesting, he feels that his power base is eroding and the protection afforded him against his critics by his position is about to disappear. People in that kind of situation can be tempted to do something desperate ...

Peter,

I doubt the good cardinal will become desperate. Upon the election of Pope Francis, Cardinal Bertone must have realized his days were numbered. He's had six months to accomplish whatever has been on his mind.

Safe in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!

These words struck me from the statement of Archbishop Parolin:

" I thank all those who have shown and who, starting now, will show me understanding, as well as for any and all manner of help that anyone might desire to offer me in my new undertaking. "

We can all help him! I say we storm heaven:

Oh Divine Holy Spirit, please give Archbishop Parolin supernatural discernment to tell the wolves from the lambs, and to remain always dead center in the divine will of the Father.

Oh, Blessed Mother, Queen of angels, please send a fresh squadron of angels to protect and guide our new Secretary of State.

Amen

AMEN! And I wonder if these words are indicative of his spirituality:

“The courage, to walk in the presence of the Lord, with the Lord’s Cross; to build the Church on the Lord’s blood which was poured out on the Cross; and to profess the one glory: Christ crucified."Safe in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!

Safe in the Hearts of Jesus and Mary!
