    in pectore = literally “within (an anatomical) chest.” BTW, someone doesn’t have to be a priest or archbishop to be named a cardinal. Charity causes me to refrain from taunting a certain archbishop who’s been passed over more than once for his red hat.

    God cares, and His Holiness cares. What else does a believer need?

    “In pectore” is the terms for a secret Cardinal – a Cardinal whose status is known only to the Pope. Apparently there are such things, and JPII had four. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_pectore

    It is hard to be a corporate board when there is a member that has effortless extension of the spirit.

    Leo could be the next …Pope?

    I know you don’t need to be a cardinal, or anything but Catholic and male, to become Pope.
