One of those rock-ribbed conservatives with which the American media assures us that John Paul II is filling up the college of cardinals, is making news in Scotland. Archbishop (and cardinal-designate) Keith O’Brien of Edinburgh is now saying the Catholic Church should have gay priests, married clergy, and that the ban on contraception should be reconsidered. Why is it that the Pope named this guy cardinal, while a perfectly orthodox Catholic prelate who agrees with the Holy Father, Archbishop Mario Conti of Glasgow, was available?
