I have been saying this for years! Q: What did you expect from the [1958] conclave? Cdl. Oddi: “I expected that the choice might fall to Montini, who, though not yet a cardinal, enjoyed very wide favor...” Q: The conclave did not seem to have significant internal divisions between progressives and conservatives, divisions that emerged very shortly afterward. Oddi: “In fact it has been maintained — and I have no trouble believing it — that Roncalli was voted in by the cardinals close to Ottaviani [pro-prefect of the Holy Office and a noted conservative — Editor.]” Q: That would demonstrate that Cardinal Roncalli was considered a conservative. Oddi: “Exactly. That is how it was: He was considered a conservative because he was one.” Theres more, and the rest is in the October 2014 New Oxford Review. Fascinating.
