His own man, Cardinal Sodano, who was named because JPII wanted a Sec of State who was occupied with international politics and had little interest in the internal affairs of the Church.

If I heard it once, I head it 100 times, JPII's words: Evil will destroy itself. Well, with Maciel evil did destroy itself, but it took some good people with it.
