Picking the Pope's mind There is a method to the Holy Father's "madness" in delaying the announcement of seven more cardinals as he stays a step ahead of the experts! In light of His Holiness Pope John Paul II's surprising announcement Sunday of five more cardinals in addition to two Soviet Union cardinal-delegates revealed as 'in pectore', the experts are scrambling for answers. But the Holy Father is mum as he gives a knowing wink and smile as he prepares to elevate 44 new cardinals to the Sacred Conclave. In truth, there is no doubt the Pope knows what he is doing, even in appointing a liberal bishop from Germany. The Vicar of Christ is fair. Bishop Lehman deserved the nomination despite his views. The obstacle with the German bishops has been hurdled and they are in unison once again with Rome's thinking, and besides, Lehman is only one voice in a sea of conservative cardinals that will influence the Church over the next several decades. With his eighth Consistory, he will have chosen 125 of the 135 cardinals since 1979.
SIMPLY SHEEN - If there is no outrage, evil will continue They say a picture is worth a thousand words, but the words of Bishop Fulton J. Sheen have been known to launch a thousand images in one's mind, one of the ways this late luminary did so much to evangelize the faith. Because of the urgency of the times and because few there are today who possess the wisdom, simplicity and insight than the late Archbishop who touched millions, we are bringing you daily gems from his writings. The good bishop makes it so simple that we have dubbed this daily series: "SIMPLY SHEEN". "As long as the people are not aroused to abuses or evil, they will not support social legislation. It must be remembered that all crimes against society are founded on false and wicked ideas, and until these are altered, society will not be altered. A lion is not gentle once it is behind a cage; a wild horse is not less ill-tempered because of a bridle and kicking stirrups put on it."
