• In related news, we pray for the day that white smoke billows from the Lombardi Center, indicating we have a new AD. (NT) -- Cardinal Ram, Sun April 03, 2005 11:46:12

• Father McShane was wonderful on national radio. He talked about how in Chicago people cheered like they were greeting a rock star when the Pope arrived. And he said the people he was referriing to were mostly priests and nuns. (NT) -- Van Ram, Sun April 03, 2005 13:43:49

• I wonder if we'll see Cardinal Dulles in the media.. Im sure he'd have some tremendous commentary & insight. In case anyone was wondering, I think he will not be part of the voting body, as he is over 80 years old.. (NT) -- Ram1, Sun April 03, 2005 14:12:55
  • Cardinal Dulles has been featured in clips during CNN’s coverage. They use video of the Pope placing the berreta on his head during the ceremony when he was made a Cardinal, CNN does not identify him by name. Cardinal Dulles is over 80 years of age and not eligible to vote in the election of the new Pope. (NT) -- SIram, Sun April 03, 2005 14:56:27

• They also showed clips of the campus on an ABC montage of Catholics in New York and how the passing of their leader impacts their lives. It was very brief and did not mention the school in particular, but it showed the outside of the University Church and other quick parts of campus. You wouldn'y have noticed it was Fordham unless you were familiar with the setting. (NT) -- Ram04, Sun April 03, 2005 16:26:22
  • Also--Father O'Hare appeared on the CBS "Sunday Morning" show hosted by Fordham alum Charles Osgood. Does anyone know if Frs. O'Hare or McShane or Cardinal Dulles are heading over to Rome? (Though I guess the latter is beyond the 80-year-old maximum voting age for the new pontiff.) (NT) -- JCC, Sun April 03, 2005 23:07:29
    • Though he cannot vote, Cardinal Dulles is expected to travel to Rome to participate in the Cardinals' pre-conclave meetings and deliberations. (NT) -- John, Mon April 04, 2005 01:31:21
      • I'm note sure about this, but I think Cardinals ineligble to vote may still attend the conclave so it's possible that Cardinal Dulles may do so. Again, I'm not completely sure about that. (NT) -- bfg, Mon April 04, 2005 08:35:33
        • That is an interesting point. I think they would have to attend because even though they are not eligible to vote in the election, they are still eligible to be elected Pope themselves. Also some of the older non-voting Cardinals still wield considerable influence and could affect the outcome of the election. (NT) -- SIram, Mon April 04, 2005 17:23:30

• We should not forget Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, the Bishop of Wash. D.C., who has also been prominently featured on TV. Ted is our other "Fordham Cardinal" and a tremendous person. (NT) -- OldRam, Mon April 04, 2005 08:10:47
  • What is Cardinal McCarrick's conection with Fordham? Is he an alum? If so, what school(s)? And what year(s)? (NT) -- JCC, Mon April 04, 2005 14:42:31
    • I think he's a graduate of Fordham Prep. According to his bio on the Washington Archdiocese's website, he attended Fordham but completed his BA at St. Joseph's Seminary in Yonkers. (NT) -- bfg, Mon April 04, 2005 16:27:58

• According to npr.org one the potential successors to Pope John Paul II is Lubomyr Husar (Ukraine, 2/26/1933) Major Archbishop of Lviv for Ukrainians. He earned a masters degree in social work at Fordham University (NT) -- AC, Mon April 04, 2005 11:59:56
  • He would be a very interesting choice. There's been a lot of commentary about looking for a Latin American b/c of the Church's growth there or someone who has experience w/ the Islamic world, but I think there's a good chance we will see a new Pope who can further help to reconcile the split between Rome and the Orthodox world. This could be such a choice. (NT) -- bfg, Mon April 04, 2005 12:13:24
