The controversial Cardinal Kasper is 76 years old and is ready for retirement.
Kath.net reports a rumour broadcast by Bavarian Radio Broadcast 1 about the appointment on "well informed Church circles". They've reported Thursday that Regensburg Bishop Gerhard Ludwig Müller should, supposedly,succeed Curial Cardinal Walter Kasper, head of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity. The report should be made public around the end of November. Clmens Neck, Communications Director for the Diocese, denies the rumours, and has received no information on it. His own words were, "according to our own information, this is only a rumour". Neither do any of kath.net's own well-informed Church circles know anything about this appointment. What is clear is that Cardinal Kasper is already 76 and therefore is expected in the forseeable future to step down.
You might recall Biship Gerhard Ludwig's earlier condemnation of the SSPX Bishops in February earlier this year on Christopher Gillibrand's Catholic Church Conservation.
