What "Vatican corruption" is this article referring to that needs to be cleaned up?

Never happen. Canadian? Latin American? Possibly. But an American on the Throne of Peter casts the Papacy in a whole new light: it is, in a nutshell, the difference between "The Pope is American" and "An American is Pope". It is all in where you put the emphasis. All of a sudden who the Pope is matters more than what he does, and the cooler more conservative heads in the College of Cardinals would never allow this to happen.
