The American sociologist and novelist Fr Andrew Greeley has died aged 85. Cardinal Keith O'Brien's successor as Archbishop of Edinburgh and St Andrews is likely to be named next month, reports the Scottish Catholic Observer. Vatican bank president Ernst von Freyberg has said the bank is enforcing "a zero tolerance policy" on money laundering (FT profile). Recently retired Apostolic Nuncio to Egypt Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald says that "the true results of the Arab Spring are still awaited". Presbyterian Bill Tammeus argues that Francis has adopted "a dicey position" on ecumenism early in his papacy.
