They are waiting in the corridors, silent like mouses -- as well as several other "catholic denominations" -- pulling the strings, I imagine, and sharpening their knifes. Be afraid, very afraid. They have a world web of money and power. That controls even big banks. For instance, Santander, the 6th biggest, who is in the hands of the Botín family. The owner was tremendously sucessful during the Franco's regime, and the founder's wife, from OD, was made a Duchess by the Spanish "Caudillo". Add to that the Neo-Caths, Communion and Liberation, the favourite of Pope Emeritus, and many others. Surely, they have "good" connections in high places.
