Unclear
[edit]This feels a bit unclear as to what exactly the Cardinal Vicar is. He is, essentially, the de facto Bishop of Rome, right? He does what the Bishop of Rome would do if the actual Bishop of Rome was not the Pope. Should this be clarified in the intro? john k 13:32, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- I think the sentence I added to the intro addresses this issue. However, after looking over the article, it is very much out of date. It includes none of the changes to the office made sence 1912, including a total reorginization by Pope John Paul II. Gentgeen 20:34, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- Is it based on the old Catholic Encyclopedia? john k 21:08, 20 August 2006 (UTC)
- Yeah, I think it is. The latest apostolic constitution to change the vicarate was John Paul II's Ecclesia in urbe in 1998, but I don't read italian or latin, so I don't know what it says. Gentgeen 21:33, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
