After Pope Benedict XVI dies, this man will be the Pope or at least the top official of the Roman Curia.
Meet Pietro Parolin...He is "Petrus Romanus/Peter the Roman" or "Pope Peter II".
He may take the role of the Pope without ever putting on the robes of the Pope.
Why? A catastrophe at the Vatican could wipe out the top leadership of the Church during either a consistory or a conclave of the College of Cardinals. As a result of no viable College surviving to elect a new pontiff.
