We knew it was coming...
Incoming Secretary of State at the Vatican: Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone. On September 15, 2006, he will be replacing the outgoing, Cardinal Angelo Sodano who is retiring at age 78.
Gerald Augustinus brings us an article out of the UK which labels Cardinal Bertone as a "hardliner". They are probably the same ones who said this about Pope Benedict who has been as gentle as a lamb in most of what he has done. I'll be honest, the very things the Times of London is complaining about, are things that make me happy!
