"If his (Cardinal Martini) speech yesterday, 'intervention' as they call it, was as powerful and dramatic as it sounds, then he's a candidate whether he likes it or not."

Fr. Andrew Greeley, The Making of the Pope (2005). Martini, a fellow Jesuit, was probably Greeley's choice. I wanted him also. Greeley contrasts, mostly contrasts, Martini and Ratzinger in this section of the book. Martini looks better in comparison but then Greeley wrote "Not a 'Panzer Pope' After All" a year later.
