Ranjith, future Prefect of Divine Worship?


Ranjith successor of Arinze at Divine Worship

Nigerian Cardinal Francis Arinze, Prefect of the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments, turns 75 years old next November 1. The retirement age being accomplished, the succession race [will start] behind the Vatican walls. Ratzinger seems to have the intent to insert in his position the current secretary of Divine Worship, Sinhalese Malcolm Ranjith, who, after the nomination of William Levada as head of the former Holy Office, was the second name placed in the Curia by the Pontiff.
