...Less surprising was Benedict?s appointment of John Paul?s long-time personal secretary, Stanislaw Dziwisz, to the Archbishop post of Krakow that Wojtyla held before becoming Pope. Dziwisz, who gets his red hat just eight days shy of the anniversary of his mentor?s death, is also looking forward to a visit from Benedict in Poland in late May. The new Pope, known as a true believer in set rules, surprised some last spring by skipping the usual waiting period to put John Paul on the fast-track to sainthood. Dziwsz is hoping that on his Polish trip Benedict...
...First, it is worth noting one man who did not get his red hat. Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, the longtime president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, was thought by many to be in line for a Cardinal position.

...more immediate concern is the ceremony this week at which Levada and 14 other prelates will be elevated to Cardinal by the Pope. Asked how he might feel when he gets the red hat signifying that high office, Levada admits a purely sartorial worry. "Of course," he says, "you want to make sure you have your hat on straight...
