Rome buzzing with rumors of change at the Vatican

Jun. 14 (CWNews.com) - New rumors about changes in the Roman Curia are sweeping through the ranks of Vatican journalists, with the most intense speculation involving the post of Secretary of State.

While mentioning the names of prelates believed likely to be appointed to top Vatican posts, journalists are also speculating about the timing of the appointments. 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.

Vatican Radio has commented on the widespread expectation of an "imminent reshuffling at the top." Pope Benedict's trip to Poland, one Vatican Radio commentator observed, appeared to mark "the end of a period of mourning [for the late Pope John Paul II and the opening of a new era."
