Next, someone cited French Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran's statement that the Pope would come to Paris to "set the clock straight" on French Catholicism. Vingt-Trois cocked his head, and said such words don't correspond to "Benedict's style." Finally, a questioner declared that the French Church was the Grande Malade (the Sick Lady) of worldwide Catholicism. An exasperated Vingt-Trois finally gave a bit of ground. "Our Church...
