In this CTV News article, we hear of a Canadian contender for the papal throne: Marc Cardinal Ouellet.
"[The] National Catholic Reporter described Ouellet as well-regarded 'across much of the international Catholic hierarchy.' He is seen as a conservative closely aligned to the views of Pope John Paul.'In some ways he is a traditionalist, and has advocated a return to Eucharistic adoration and Gregorian chant, suggesting that Quebec's 1960s `Quiet Revolution' marked too radical a change,' the paper said."
I realize that, to the typical Catholic in the pews, Eucharistic Adoration might be a long-forgotten part of Church history; but for a traditional Catholic, like myself, I have to admit I found that statement shocking. Also, it doesn't hurt that Cardinal Ouellet is a proponent of Gregorian chant.
Could an obscure cardinal from Canada possibly hold the key to the Church's future?
