    The Curial Tsunami - set for June 29th?

    ... so says CWNews: "Some Vatican-watchers had predicted an announcement on June 10. When that date passed without any major news, speculation began to center on June 29: the feast of Sts. Peter and Paul."

    Bettnet adds more: "It’s still looking like Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone of Genoa, Pope Benedict’s former right-hand man at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, will be named Secretary of State, the second-most powerful man in the Vatican, and some are saying that Cardinal Giovanni Battista Re, currently of the Congregation for Bishops, will move into Genoa to get some badly needed pastoral experience."

    Finally, Phil Lawler adds his two cents: "Four other top Curial officials are already past retirement age. Cardinal Edmund Szoka, the American president of the Vatican city-state government, will be 79 in September. Colombian Cardinal Dario Castrillon Hoyos (bio - news), prefect of the Congregation for the Clergy, will be 77 in July. And Spanish Cardinal Julian Herranz, president of the Pontifical Council for Legislative Texts, turned 75 in March. Cardinal Sergio Sebastiani, president of the prefecture for economic affairs at the Holy See, reached retirement age in April."

    In essence, we could see a thoroughly revamped Curia in a matter of weeks/months... exciting times.
