Rocco Palmo writes with my emphases:
Given the reactions aired in some parts on his appointment as the Vatican’s doctrine chief, it’s easy to think the new “Grand Inquisitor” might remain a little stung. Even for that, though, it’s not the kind of thing a top official includes in his first major address abroad unless it’s risen to a level of major concern.
These days, of course, CDF’s purview includes direct oversight of two groups with fairly legendary reputations for infighting – namely, Anglicans and traditionalists. Still, especially when you consider the enduring top task of the old “Holy Office,” the preceding doesn’t just provide a wider call to reflection, but the articulation of a standard that could end up having an impact across the board.
