* Archbishop Giovanni Becciu: Archbishop Becciu was named substitute under Benedict XVI in 2010 and so worked closely with Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone during the last phase of Benedict's pontificate, which was overshadowed by the Vatileaks scandal. Becciu gave an interview to the L'Osservatore Romano, the Vatican newspaper, saying of the scandal: "It is regrettable that the Vatican should have such a distorted image. But it should be cause for reflection and renewed commitment to a life which is marked by the Gospel. " His experience with the difficult days of the pope emeritus' papacy -- if not seen purely as baggage -- could be a plus in the new pope's efforts to clean up the Curia, in addition to his distinguished international diplomatic career.
