...Italian Jews are nonplussed. "The beatification of Pius IX exalts a symbol that still represents a wound," says community leader Amos Luzzatto. David Kertzer, who wrote a book on the kidnapping, sees "a mixed message, asking for pardon [as the Pope did last week] and then beatifying Pius IX."

But John Paul II in living retirement would also be an influence too powerful to ignore, even if he is not anywhere near the voting cardinals. He is probably aware that every new Pope in the past 300 years has been dramatically different from his predecessor. John Paul II may have forestalled that by naming some...
