(ANSA) - Rome, February 28 - The meeting that could reveal
the start date of the conclave to elect Benedict's successor
will take place on March 4, Cardinal Crescenzio Sepe, the
Archbishop of Naples, said on Thursday.
On Monday Benedict issued a decree changing the rules of
the conclave to make it possible for it take place sooner than
the mandatory 15 days from a papacy's end, and so before
mid-March."We must all be united in prayer and choose according to the Holy Spirit, not for our own interests, confident that the Lord will choose the one that will have to bear the heavy cross," Cardinal Sepe said.
