Dear Friends

At Pope Benedict's farewell gathering with the cardinals on February 28,  about 140  cardinals were present. That's 140 out of about 180. No doubt illness etc prevented a few from attending. But it's interesting that more than 30 did not make it....including quite a few due to take part in the conclave.
A once-in-600 year farewell gathering...one would expect all the cardinals to be there

Someone messed up the arrangements?  Conflict of dates? Last minute notification?
The finger prints of Cardinal Bertone?  
c.f. his finger prints on clash of Synod last year with Asian Bishops' meeting

God, please bless the conclave cardinals!
