The Missing Name

Looking at the list of new cardinals, there was one name that seemed especially conspicuous in its absence - the new head of the CDF, Archbishop Muller. Maybe Pope Benedict wanted the headline he is already getting - no Europeans - but this strikes me as very strange. Muller occupies an influential and important post, but in the world of curial politics, it matters whether you are wearing red or magenta.
