BOSTON (MyFoxBoston.com) — Cardinal Sean O’Malley is reportedly among the names being weighed as Pope Benedict XVI’s successor among Italian journalists.

According to the National Catholic Reporter, the Boston cardinal’s work as a reformer during the church sex abuse scandal is one of the reasons his name has created a buzz in the Italian press.

Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York has also been considered a potential American prospect.
