Religion: Unemployed Archbishop
Spain's Pedro Cardinal Segura y Sáenz is a man born out of his time. In his pastoral letters he has longed for the days of the "meritorious Inquisition"; he has repeatedly attacked Franco's government for too much toleration of Protestants, and he has berated the citizens of his diocese, Seville, for such licentiousness as dancing and going to the movies. Last year the Vatican curbed him through the appointment of an archbishop coadjutor; shortly afterwards, a spate of anti-Vatican leaflets was rumored to have originated in the cardinal's palace itself.
Last week it was officially announced that Archbishop Coadjutor José María Bueno y Monreal, 51, has been permanently appointed Apostolic Administrator of the diocese, with all the 74-year-old cardinal's responsibilities and functions.
