Joining Ottaviani in retirement is Arcadio Cardinal Larraona, 80, the traditionalist head of the Congregation of Rites. At the same time, Giacomo Cardinal Lercaro, 76, the Archbishop of Bologna, resigned his additional duty as head of the Council-created consilium for liturgical reform-thereby allowing the Pope to combine the two overlapping jobs and give them to another non-Italian: Benno Cardinal Gut, 70, a Swiss Benedictine abbot who favors more changes in the Mass...

Born in Brussels to middle-class Jewish parents who did not accept their faith or any other, he grew up in France in a posture of skepticism toward traditionalist thought. At the Sorbonne he read for a philosophy degree-"not because I had any true vocation for it, but because I had sampled other branches of learning and detested them...
