A Bishop
According to John Paul's Heart? by Robert Moynihan (HT
A Bishop According to John Paul's Heart?) says:
- the will was written in Polish beginning in 1979 and is now
translated into Italian;
- will be made public 'in a few hours';
- 'names the man he believes would make a worthy successor for
him, and, that the name mentioned is that of an Italian bishop'
(that rules out Archbishop
Stanislaw Dziwisz);
- contains the name of the cardinal named in pectore.
Moynihan's reason for publishing this stuff, which he admits is not
news, is not verifiable? 'I am making a contribution to the
understanding of Rome's mood on the eve of the release of the
contents of the Pope's testament. Historians may be
grateful.'
I'll bet it also says that John XXII shouted on his deathbed 'Stop
the Council!', Paul VI was kidnapped and replaced by someone who
looked just like him, and John Paul I was murdered. Oh, and the
Third Secret was 'Don't call a Council.'
What's the Latin for 'I ain't holding my breath'?
