Even the team's diarist was something of a specialist: Novelist (The White Tower) James Ramsey Ullman...
...powerful cardinals-Palermo's Ruffini and Genoa's Siri-supported Cardinal Ottaviani, who remarked to a friend, "We're always with Peter and under Peter, even when he is in the greatest danger." But others were not so sure. Said one Irish bishop: "We have had a mistaken idea that Cardinal Ottaviani represents the Holy See. We'll have to revise our definition of what the Holy...
