Cardinal George heads to Rome to elect new Pope

Rome will be undergoing a lot of changes within the next couple of days. At the end of February the current pope will retire and thus a new one will take his place. The aim here is to always elect a better pope and therefore more in a positive direction.

As he prepared to rush to Rome ahead of a snowstorm at home, Chicago's Cardinal Francis George said Monday that the next pope should have insight about how the Vatican operates and the ability to lead a global church.

"You're talking about governance here," George said. "People say sanctity. Well, sanctity is nice, but there have been popes who have governed fairly well who have not been holy. … What's important here is governance. Can the man govern the church as a pastor? He has to be a man who knows the Lord because he's governing in his name. But it doesn't mean he's going to be a great saint."
