...Sergio Cardinal Pignedoli, 68. The most congenial and outgoing of the top tier of papal candidates, Pignedoli (pronounced Peen-yeh-doli) was Pope Paul's closest confrere among the Cardinals, a man whom the Pontiff most often chose for the concelebration of Mass, as a companion for trips abroad or to stand at his side for speeches from St. Peter's balcony. Ordained at 22, he has served in a wide range of jobs - including a harrowing tour as the first Italian navy chaplain to accompany a submarine crew into action in World War II. He earned...
Play was brutal in the opening five minutes, and it remained so throughout the epic 120-minute battle. Kempes and star Dutch midfielder Jan Neeskens were both bloodied by the end of the contest. Referee Sergio Gonella never got a grip on the game, as he not only let rough play go unfettered, but also played to the partisan home crowd with numerous pro-Argentina calls...

Another prominent candidate is Sergio Cardinal Pignedoli, 67, who leads the office on relations with non-Christian religions and is the most widely traveled member of the college. If the next Pope is chosen from outside Italy, at least a possibility now that 27 of 117 voting cardinals are non-Italian, Holland's shrewd primate, Jan Cardinal Willebrands, appears to have a clear edge.
