We can strike several off the list of potential Papal material after the past few days and weeks.
Immaturity, indiscretion, pride, gross naivete.
Dolan, gone
O'Malley, gone
Turkson, gone
Odilo Scherer, gone
George, gone
Wuerl, gone
DiNaro, gone
If we ever needed proof that the Church has not produced mature, reflective, sensible, rational, talented men at the top, we only need to look at this list of self-promoting, or anxiety-laden men who need to trust in God, not themselves .
Be quiet, already, and go to your rooms, shut the door and pray.
