There's a 1984 article which is quite comprehensive.<br />The link is rather long but if you google Thomas J Reese + The Selection of Bishops you should get the pdf.<br />It was written in 1984 but I don't suppose things have changed much.<br />Hope this helps.Gentyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05569143943867323153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4702382876668711798.post-55702173226302894132011-06-05T15:33:31.407+02:002011-06-05T15:33:31.407+02:00Thanks, Jane.Thanks, Jane.Gentyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05569143943867323153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4702382876668711798.post-55751489698098026312011-06-05T12:46:23.654+02:002011-06-05T12:46:23.654+02:00Bearing your points in mind will continue the rese...Bearing your points in mind will continue the research, particularly about the Cardinal Relator.<br /><br />JJanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00419516065899508757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4702382876668711798.post-46027059623683103442011-06-05T00:13:34.136+02:002011-06-05T00:13:34.136+02:00That was a useful bit of research.

One...That was a useful bit of research. Thank you.<br /><br />One still doesn't know, or ever will, who the cardinal relator was in this instance or whether as a matter of course a cardinal relator is of the nation or continent where the relevant diocese lies. <br /><br />The document doesn't indicate how closely involved the entire Congregation is with each individual case, or whether it relies on a (smallish) quorum to examine the evidence and present its conclusions. I'd guess that worldwide there must be many dozens of preferments in the offing so it would make sense to divvy them up. <br /><br />But reading through the document, it does smack of the old boys' network to me and, to some extent, explains why we (in E&W at any rate) keep getting more of the same.Gentyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05569143943867323153noreply@blogger.com
