The story line is good here but can we just step back a minute and look at some of these lofty titles:

Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments 
President of the Pontifical Committee for International Eucharistic Congresses 
Master of Pontifical Liturgical Celebrations

In light of these titles (and others like it no doubt), it's no wonder the boys in Rome have such a hard time moving beyond their entrenched imperialism.
