Christmas Greetings from RomeWill His Holiness be more careful as to what he says this Christmas in His greetings especially consiering the still
rumbling debate of 'that' message of September and His trip to Turkey in November-December?
One waits with bated breath.....
Here in Ireland a lot of episcopal appointments will be made over the next few years with the retirement of many of our bishops here and it will be interesting to see who will get the purple hat in the tenure of this pontiff.
Will they be as conservative as those appointees of the late pontiff or will Benny XVI decide to ruffle the Purple Parliamnetarians a little and put in pastoral bishops or will we get more administrators or pen pushers?
We shall wait and see what 2007 brings when the first real decisions and appointments may be made and definitely in 2008....
