Two prominent conservative journalists are getting kudos from all the cardinals of the Church as they voraciously consume what Edward Pentin of the National Catholic Register and Diana Montagna of the Catholic Herald collaborated to produce.
I had dinner with one of the cardinals from the peripheries in Pakistan. He told me that the cardinals do not know each other as Pope Francis has not facilitated meetings where they could gather and chat and create friendships and connections. Thus other means are now being utilized for the cardinals to get to know each other especially in light of the approaching conclave to elect the new pope.

Don't the cardinals know how to pick up a phone or engage in a zoom conference? Do they not know where the other cardinals live, making a visit possible? Why, some of them probably can (gasp!) write a letter and drop it in the mail!
Pope Francis has chosen cardinals from the peripheries of common sense, social media savvy and telephone ability not to mention fringy post offices if any and their geographical periphery means you can’t get there from anywhere!
