...Excellent!" he said with what seemed like authentic exuberance. "We are in God's hands." And he was gone with the late afternoon breeze. In the 20th century, the Holy Spirit swept in three Popes from the lagoon city. The most recent, in fact, was the last Italian: Pope:John Paul...
...former Venice Patriarch Albino Luciani is remembered fondly, though with sorrow, for a papacy that lasted just 33 days before his sudden death.The man who would become John Paul I was little known outside of Venetian and Italian circles before he began to emerge in the days before the first 1978 conclave. If the Cardinals want an Italian, but are divided over Tettamanzi and Scola, they may start to look at alternatives from the bel paese. Names dropped include Cardinal Bertone of Genoa, Cardinal Antonelli of Florence and Cardinal Ruini, the Vicar of Rome. But one of the darkest dark...
...bishops; we talk to people who talk to Cardinals. Beyond the Cardinals' self-imposed press blackout during this week leading up to the conclave, we got a piece of bad news earlier today when a dinner arranged for TIME this evening with a source close to a key Italian "kingmaker" cardinal was canceled after he got cold feet.

...Italian Cardinal worth watching is Carlo Maria Martini, the 78-year-old former Archbishop of Milan, who spends much of his time studying ancient texts in Jerusalem. Martini, a brilliant Jesuit scholar and inarguably holy figure, was once the great white-haired hope of the progressives for a successor to John Paul. Few believe he is still 'papabile'. When I caught up with him after the Pope's funeral, he smiled and shook my hand, but stayed mum. He has, however, been talking during the Cardinals' daily meetings, and Corriere reported today that he was listened to "intently...
