If it is indeed, " a stalemate between Tomasi and the faction of the order’s leadership led by Grand Chancellor Albrecht von Boselager." then this is good news. Now you've gone and done it; I'm hooked on The Pillar. Thank you for excellent reporting. It is so obvious that the only way that the (I'm struggling to find the correct word and just can't) hierarchy will respond is if they are called out publicly. It's a shame but it's the truth. When all of this controversary started a few years ago wasn't there a question about a huge Swiss account that people were wrestling for control of? Follow the money. Thanks again,
It reminds me of an exchange from the BBC's "Yes, Prime Minister":
Sir Humphrey: Bernard, if the right people don’t have power, do you know what happens? The wrong people get it: politicians, councillors, ordinary voters!
Bernard: But aren’t they supposed to, in a democracy?
Sir Humphrey: This is a British democracy, Bernard!

Sir Humphrey: To put it simply, Prime Minister, certain informal discussions took place involving a full and frank exchange of views out of which there arose a series of proposals, which on examination proved to indicate certain promising lines of inquiry, which, when pursued, lead to the realization that the alternative courses of action might, in fact, in certain circumstances, be susceptible of discreet modification, leading to a reappraisal of the original areas of difference and pointing the way to encouraging possibilities of compromise and cooperation, which, if bilaterally implemented with appropriate give and take on both sides might, if the climate were right, have a reasonable probability at the end of the day of leading, rightly or wrongly, to a mutually satisfactory resolution.
