Scholar with a foot in the real world
Article Abstract:
Many people see Cardinal Carlo Mario Martini, the Archbishop of Milan, as the most likely successor to Pope John Paul II. He is a highly respected Bible scholar, and has a very charismatic personality. He has campaigned on behalf of the homeless, immigrants and the unemployed, and has work hard to rid Italian politics of corruption. However, he is not much younger than the present Pope, and is also known to have some opponents.
