While all three vaticanisti led their stories with an emphasis that the coming crop would be dominated by Europe and the Roman Curia -- including the "sure" elevation of the church's first American "chief justice," Archbishop Raymond BurkeThe post that Arch. Burke now occupies, prefect of the Apostolic Signatura; in effect, the church's "chief justice" as head of its top court, has historically always been filled by a cardinal. Hence why the prediction is a pretty solid lock. Another potential candidate is Archbishop Timothy Dolan, but it looks like he is saying he would not expect to receive the red hat this time around.
I believe Arch Burke is about 62-63 years old. I wont start speculating on the next papal election at this time.... but.... as Elmer J. Fudd would say "vewy vewy intewesting."

Thank you for this post and esp. for that great photo of the Archbishop and the Sacred Heart of Jesus.
I get so ticked off when I see awful pictures of him, esp. in that rag, NCReporter, that make him look like a ghoul or angry hierarch.
He is nothing like that at all and this picture is just great.
He is a holy and great pastor of the Catholic Church and I pray he has many, many more years of service.
Yes, it is sad that secular news looks for the worst photo possible to make those they disagree with look bad(esp the good Archbishop).
