Fr. Richard John Neuhaus of First Things is in Rome, analyzing for EWTN, and has been posting a Rome Diary. He has some interesting observations, including some young Belgian liberals actually campaigning for Cardinal Godfried Danneels. He also offers his top papabile, among them Ratzinger, Dias, and Hummes. And he says that he thinks that the socalled “progressives” have no serious candidate and are “out of gas.” Interesting.
