  Dionigi Tettamanzi Biography (Religious Figure) — Infoplease.com
Dionigi Tettamanzi was appointed Archbishop of Milan in 2002, taking a prominent post which marked him as a leading candidate to succeed Pope John Paul II in 2005.
Tettamanzi began studying at seminary while still a boy, and was ordained a priest in the Catholic Church in 1957.
During the slow decline in health of John Paul II early in the 21st century, Tettamanzi was often mentioned as a possible papal successor, along with fellow Cardinals Francis Arinze and Angelo Scola.

  Dionigi Cardinal Tettamanzi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dionigi Cardinal Tettamanzi (born March 14, 1934) is an Italian prelate of the Roman Catholic Church.
Tettamanzi was born in Renate, in the province of Milan.
Tettamanzi's position as prelate of an archdiocese that was seen historically as a step towards the papacy (considered one of the wealthiest and most powerful of the dioceses of Italy), as well as his charisma and popularity among the people, placed Tettamanzi as one of the overall favorites to become John Paul II's successor.

Tettamanzi's first bishop's post, in the Adriatic town of Ancona, was in a diocese near the Loreto shrine so dear to John Paul that the pontiff visited it five times.
Tettamanzi's help in projecting an unwavering Vatican defense of traditional teaching on moral issues might turn off progressive thinkers among the voting cardinals, although, with most of them appointed by conservative John Paul, his staunch defense of church teaching would likely gain him many points.
Tettamanzi, born in 1934 in Renate, a working-class town near Milan, is seen by some observers as lacking charisma.

 washingtonpost.com: Dionigi Tettamanzi, Italy
The outcome of next week's conclave will tell whether the pattern holds for Tettamanzi, 71, the favorite of many of those who think the papacy will return to Italians after the 26-year tenure of a Polish pope broke their 455-year hold.
Tettamanzi worked on two of John Paul's most important encyclicals and is considered among the ghostwriters.
Short and plain-faced, Tettamanzi doesn't cut a particularly memorable figure, and his world travels are less extensive than some candidates, but he is credited with knowing how to reach his flock.

Tettamanzi is frequently described in the media as a 'conservative,' but in reality, from what I have been told, there is nothing conservative about him.
"Tettamanzi has successfully fooled certain Catholics into believing he is a 'conservative' because he uses traditional, even pious language, even mentioning the influence of Satan, in a transparent effort to inoculate himself from any suspicion.
He is not afraid to preach the Gospel and/or the truths of the Church to anyone, and has an excellent relationship with the world's bishops.

 Word From Rome August 22, 2003
If Martini was the “loyal opposition,” Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi, archbishop of Milan, is the quintessential John Paul II bishop — conservative on doctrine, progressive on social justice, champion of a self-confident Christianity unafraid to buck the cultural tide.
Tettamanzi’s August 15 sermon for the Feast of the Assumption, which made headlines in Italy, offered a classic expression of this point of view.
Andrea Riccardi, founder of the Sant’Egidio movement, said that Tettamanzi’s comments were not intended as a “lament” but a “stimulus.” Tettamanzi is trying, Riccardi said, to energize believers in an era in which the church’s traditional enemies — communism and liberal anti-clericalism — are gone.

 Pope John Paul II's Encyclical: Veritatis Splendor by Prof. William E. May
As Dionigi Tettamanzi has said: "This unity is undoubtedly given by the fundamental question concerning the relationship between freedom and truth, or better, by the living word of Jesus Christ: 'You shall know the truth, and the truth will set you free' (Jn 8:32).
Tettamanzi focuses on two major themes: (1) the Christocentric nature of the moral life according to John Paul II; and (2) the ecclesial character of Christian moral life.
Interestingly, in his "guida" for readers of the encyclical, Dionigi Tettamanzi singles out six major themes in this chapter, and the six he identifies overlap pretty much with the six that struck me. The six themes identified by Tettamanzi and then developed by him are the following.
