I found him busy reading the Rule book; the translation of my petition which I read to him had the effect only of adding to the good opinion that he was beginning to form on the question. The Cardinal is an upright man; he has promised to hurry matters as much as he can on his side and to put it through before others that he has on hand. But what a procedure to follow! When he will have read (the dossier) and made his report, he has to send it on to Cardinal Fesch who will pass it to Cardinal Haeffelin, he on to Cardinal Bertazzoli, Cardinal Bertazzoli to Cardinal Pallotta, Cardinal Pallotta to Cardinal Turiozzi, Cardinal Turiozzi to Cardinal Pacca, who will return it to Cardinal Pedicini. Cardinal Pedicini will speak of it to the Pope, then the Congregation will assemble and decide. What do you say to this business?
