Genoa's Giuseppe Siri, 57, and Palermo's Ernesto Ruffini, 75, are skilled, articulate conservatives-but their lack of aperturismo makes many non-Italian cardinals shudder...
...John Courtney Murray, a front-rank Catholic theologian, said that "the oldest American prejudice. anti-Catholicism, is as poisonously alive today as it was in 1928, or even in the 1840s.
