Marc Cardinal OuelletMarc Cardinal Ouellet (born June 8, 1944) is a Roman Catholic cardinal, Archbishop of Qubec and Primate of Canada. He became a cardinal on October 21, 2003. After spending most of his priestly career as a professor and rector in seminaries, he entered the Roman Curia as Secretary of the Pontifical Council for the Promotion of Christian Unity in 2001, Pope John Paul II personally consecrating him a bishop. On November 15, 2002 he became Archbishop of Quebec and Primate of Canada, and has been one of the more conservative voices in the Canadian hierarchy. He has suggested that changes around the Quiet Revolution in Quebec in the 1960s went too far. Ouellet is associated with Communio, a journal of theology established by moderate-to-conservative Catholics after the Second Vatican Council, and with Hans Urs von Balthasar, a conservative Swiss theologian. Ouellet has supported a return to Eucharistic adoration and Gregorian chant. Ouellet is fluent in English, French, Italian and German. He is known for his missionary work in South America. He is eligible to vote in the 2005 papal conclave, and numerous observers have said Ouellet is papabile himself. A report from the National Catholic Reporter, anticipating the 2005 papal election, placed Ouellet among twenty papal possibilities ."People who have worked with Ouellet," said the report, "describe him as friendly, humble and flexible, and a man not so captive to his own intellectual system as to make him incapable of listening to others."
