Cardinals to go into lockdown
St Peter's Square was quiet for a second Sunday with no pope to conduct the traditional blessings as Cardinals led masses around the city for prayers.
Cardinal George Pell reportedly has no chance of becoming pope after his Australian opponents filled in the media and cardinals about the Sydney archbishop's history of dealing with sex abuse allegations.
Australian commentator Paul Collins says progressive Catholics have lobbied overseas journalists and voting cardinals to make sure they are aware of a 2002 inquiry into allegations against the Sydney archbishop.
The inquiry, headed by independent commissioner Alex Southwell QC, cleared Dr Pell of allegations he molested a boy during a camp at Phillip Island, in Victoria, in 1961.
But Dr Collins, a former priest, has told Fairfax: "He has no chance."
Dr Collins said another problem for the cardinal is that his patrons, the former pope and other influential cardinals, have lost power.
"In Italy, without patrons, you're gone."
Cardinal Pell was last week named at Number Five on a so-called dirty dozen list, compiled by the US-based Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, or SNAP.
The group cited a dozen cardinals from the United States, Mexico, Honduras, Italy, Australia, Czech Republic, Canada, Argentina and Ghana accused of protecting pedophile priests or making offensive public statements.
