	Portuguese cardinal has two passions: saints and soccer
		During the cardinals' discussion before entering the conclave April 18, one frequent topic of conversation reportedly was the extent to which Pope John Paul's preaching of the Gospel and Catholic morality had sunk into the minds and hearts of the young people who adored him.
		According to his official biography, Cardinal Saraiva Martins has published several papers on the question in theological journals, urging more concrete expressions of the fact that collegiality and the primacy of the pope are complementary and that neither the bishops nor the pope -- and with him, the Curia -- can work alone.
		One of the major projects of the education congregation during Cardinal Saraiva Martins' tenure was the drafting, discussion and redrafting of norms for Catholic colleges and universities.
