In the Good Graces

A lovely tableau from the Wednesday Audience -- apologies for the watermark, the photo's from the superlative Catholic Press Photo....

At the Pope's direct left is Cardinal Ivan Dias of Bombay, a veteran diplomat heavily tipped to be the next prefect of the Propaganda Fide (the Congregation for the Evangelization of Peoples). And then Georg -- you know him, he always finds a way to get in the frame. And next to the model secretary is the recently reconfirmed Cardinal-Archbishop of Washington, in Rome with the Board of Trustees of CUA, of which he is the Chancellor.

Viva il Ted.
