...view, the Pope had good reason for the outbursts. Although the Vatican has by now be come accustomed to the public defection of priests, it was shocked by the recent resignations of two young, promising bishops. In Chile, the Most Rev. Gabriel Larrain Valdivieso, 44, auxiliary to the Cardinal-Archbishop of Santiago, left the priesthood for secular humanitarian work. In Peru, Bishop Mario Cornejo Radavero, 41, auxiliary to the Cardinal-Archbishop of Lima, reportedly brought his cardinal to tears by resigning to marry. Priestly defections have even touched the Vatican itself, where an honored member of the papal house hold...
...young coadjutor bishop in Pittsburgh, Archbishop John F. Dearden of Detroit earned the nickname "Iron John" for his firm administrative style. Last week Iron John Dearden, one of four new American cardinals chosen by the Pope, proved that he is a man of much more flexible steel. He approved a long list of recommendations, put forward by a lay-dominated synod, that makes Detroit a model of democratically guided reform in the post-Vatican II church...
Inner-City Programs. Archbishop Terence J. Cooke has been an all but automatic choice since he succeeded the late Francis Cardinal Spellman as head of the New York archdiocese last March.

Elsewhere, the choices were a similar mixture of predictability and surprise. In Paris, liberal Archbishop François Marty joined a long roster of Parisian cardinals despite recent rumors that he had turned down the red hat. In Africa, where the Pope will visit next July, there was now a third black cardinal-Archbishop Joseph Malula of Kinshasa, the Congo-as well as Jerome Rakotomalala in the nearby island republic of Malagasy. Presbyterian Scotland got its first resident cardinal in four centuries, Archbishop Gordon Gray of St. Andrews and Edinburgh. And Western Canada was given its first cardinal ever-popular...
...Young. Almost as interesting as some of the appointments were some of the omissions. An anticipated red hat for rigidly conservative Archbishop Paul Philippe, number-two man in the Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, did not materialize. Likewise bypassed was Archbishop Giovanni Benelli, the Pope's celebrated "Prime Minister" (TIME, March 14), who at 47 is probably still too young...
