George Weigel scharrt mit den Hufen und wird nervös:
"No one who knew the man doubted that this would be a pontificate of doctrinal clarity and insightful analysis of contemporary culture. But something more was hoped for - that the new pope would take in hand, and soon, a reform of the personnel and practice of the Roman Curia, the Catholic Church's central bureaucracy. More than a few of the cardinals who rallied to support him in one of the shortest conclaves in modern history did so because they believed Ratzinger, having spent more than two decades in the Curia, would know what was broken and would fix it.
That may yet come. The pope is a careful, prudent man, not given to impulsive action or premature decisions. At the same time, it was precisely because he was not a product of the current curial system, but rather a scholar who had to struggle to get things accomplished within it, that his supporters expected him to bring to the papacy a sense of where changes need to be made in structure and personnel. Those supporters are waiting, a little anxiously, for change." (Newsday.com)
