Whispers is struggling to play down the role of Medina Estevez since he is now a senior with no "heavy portfolio". However, the comments here indicate his proximity to Pope Benedict (see the comment by Savage) and other comments have indicated his familiarity with the SSPX negotiations.
The Holy Father has said nothing; true. There is a lot of smoke all of a sudden, however. If someone thought the conversation with Fellay came "of a sudden" they are deluding themselves. I don't know what is afoot, but something. I have waited 40 years. I can wait more. All will come in God's good time.
