Yes, I also was disappointed to see that Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga made those comments. I only hope they were made in frustration with the whole pedophile scandal, and that he lashed out at the media as a convenient target and has since seen the error of his ways. I haven't heard of any Cardinal who is openly advocating for allowing priests to marry. Perhaps that would be too bold at this stage of the game. I hope you are right about the fat pope idea.

Bah - they picked "The Enforcer", Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger of Germany, who has taken the name Pope Benedict XVI. He was John Paul's right hand man. Obviously the powers that be don't want any changes in the foreseeable future.
