Speculation cannot be limited to these three. All are known as administrators, and in the pendulum philosophy of many cardinals, Paul's successor should exhibit a pastoral style, not unlike that of Pope John XXIII.

...inside interpretation is quite different. Although it is true that Pope John XXIII himself made it clear that he favored Paul as his successor, papal attempts to influence future elections have usually been ignored by the cardinals. Aside from that, Benelli's style in taking the heavy administrative burden from Paul's shoulders has made him probably the most unpopular man inside the Vatican. He dislikes delegating authority, busies himself even with such trivia as the allocation of Vatican apartments, and has trampled on a good many official sensibilities.

Died. Giacomo Cardinal Lercaro, 84, former archbishop of Bologna, regarded by some Vatican watchers in 1963 as a possible successor to Pope John XXIII; in Bologna. As a parish priest in Genoa during World War II, Lercaro aided anti-Fascist partisans and refugees. As archbishop of Bologna (1952-68), he organized a group of young priests into the frati volanti (flying friars) to speak out at public rallies against the local Communist government.
