...TIME.com: Could it be said that choosing a figure from within the Curia, known primarily as a strict and vigorous enforcer of doctrinal positions, may reflect a greater concern with managing the Church's bureaucracy and doctrinal issues among the clergy than with the sort of pastoral role played among the Catholic faithful by John Paul...
...Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger and Italy's Dionigi Cardinal Tettamanzi. The former Archbishop of Munich, who for the past 23 years was Pope John Paul II's doctrinal watchdog, is being promoted by a swath of electors attracted to his traditional views, intellectual acuity and his knowledge of the Roman Curia.

It?s too delicate...
...Pope's death would get out to the world. Would it be leaked ahead of time? Would there be a false scoop that would set off flurries of speculation? Would the Vatican keep the news secret for hours or days until it could straighten out the situation inside the Curia? The Rome bureau chiefs of news wire agencies and television stations lost sleep for fear of missing the historic news flash. Instead, Navarro's simultaneous email to the major news agencies at the same time that Archbishop Leonardo Sandri announced the news to the faithful in St. Peter's Square...
