"One of the men being heavily promoted to become our next pope is the notorious Dionigi Tettamanzi, the Cardinal-archbishop of Milan. This has caused great apprehension among orthodox Catholics concerned about the future of the Church. Tettamanzi is frequently described in the media as a 'conservative,' but in reality, from what I have been told, there is nothing conservative about him. He is -- I quote trusted sources -- a 'wolf-in-sheep's clothing,' a dangerous innovator, who, if given a chance, might make John XXIII and Paul VI look like Hard-Right Traditionalists -- I kid you not -- Tettamanzi's detractors believe he would usher in ANOTHER REVOLUTION were he to become pope."

Of course some of my readers don't think that would be so bad...

I should explain that they were most recently in
a group working together at Bose for a week...
but Michael liked him just found incredible the
idea of him as progressive in some way.

"Progressive in some way"... maybe some way that wouldn't seem particularly progressive to you or me. But to those fellows with the black helicopters...

maybe, you know his knowledge of tettmanzini
and mine of cardinal chrisoph is very impressionistic
but it is just my guess that that article is
something like "big lie" technique...dysinformation
passed to a decent fellow who runs a news service
(and no doubt let it be from decent people "alls
fair in ...")

Not much of a big lie -- if you look for the smoking gun it ain't there. If this is the worst his enemies can say...

Of course there is such a thing as black propaganda, things you put out and attribute to your adversaries. Perhaps someone on Cardinal T's side wants him to look good to the less conservative.

well...I guess what we do need and hope
the Holy Spirit helps to be found is indeed
a man who can work with the whole world
left to right.

The whole world left to right

Yes, one who will find the Middle Path. By the Grace of God. Amen.
