...Vatican veteran, Cardinal Camillo Ruini, who has held the doubly potent post of Vicar of Rome and head of the Italian Bishops Conference since 1991, has stayed put so far. But maneuvering for his succession is well under way. Among those mentioned to replace Ruini are two Cardinals - Angelo Scola of Venice and Dionigi Tettamanzi of Milan - who were considered papal candidates in the same conclave that elected Benedict. A lesser-known name than either the conservative Venetian or more progressive Milanese may well emerge as a compromise candidate...
...education. No doubt, the encounter with Zapatero on Saturday evening is the photo-op the worldwide media are most anticipating. The real tone of that encounter, however, will be established after the event, when the Pope addresses the Valencia conference and sets out his views on family. Angelo Cardinal Scola, the Patriarch of Venice, a Ratzinger disciple who has written extensively on this issue, will be in Spain. "Rather than a 'better opinion,' we speak of a 'prevalent tradition,'" he tells Time. "The word family has a meaning. The word marriage means a union between a man and woman open...
...from God," he told the youth gathering in Cologne. The new Pope has managed to fill John Paul's shoes without trying to match his oversized magnetism, and in so doing has revealed a side of his character that perhaps he didn't even know he had.

He wasn't wearing any of his Cardinal scarlet robes, just a simple black suit and clerical collar, but I recognized him right away by his reddish complexion and burly figure - a bespectacled version of American character actor Brian Denehey. Though an aide tried to shoo me away, I was able to ask Scola how the week was going so far. "Excellent!" he said with what seemed like authentic...
...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 horses - Severino Poletto, 72, of Turin - was touted to me two months...
