In the Catholic Church are many intelligent and highly talented persons available
for a leadership position. There is no way to know for sure who the next Pope will be. There is however, one gifted
and very exceptional person who is worthy of notice. I am referring to Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone.
He is currently
the Vatican Secretary of State, in charge of Vatican relations with the worlds nations. He is deeply involved in relations
with Israel and Islamic countries and is working with the European nations in their quest for unity.
Cardinal
Bertone is also the Church Camerlengo, that is; he will be in charge of the Roman Catholic Church during the transitional
period, until the new leader is chosen.
A man very interested in sport, he has captured the hearts of Europe's
youth. Not speaking English he is almost unknown in North America, yet he is a very charismatic personality who is extremely
popular in Europe.
Born in Romano Canavese, Piedmont on Dec 2, 1934; he is Italian and a young 73 years old.
For
more background on this remarkable man see this link to Wikpedia.

watch.
