This Friday's L'Indipendente, repeating what many different news sources have been saying for many months, reports that the probable replacement of Cardinal Sodano will be Salesian Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Archbishop of Genoa (the see of the great Siri, whose centennial is being celebrated this year).
Bertone was for many years, as it is well known, then-Cardinal Ratzinger's second at the former Holy Office.
