Among Scola's chief pastoral concerns in Grosseto were the education of children and youths, vocations and clergy formation (he re-opened the diocesan seminary), new approaches to parish life, the pastoral care of labourers (particularly during the difficult period of the dismantling of mines in Grosseto), culture and the family, and the opening of a diocesan mission in Santa Cruz, Bolivia. During this period he wrote and published a book aimed at young people on the subject of the educative mission of the Church.

He was appointed Patriarch of Venice on January 5, 2002, elected President of the Bishops’ Conference of the Triveneta region on April 9, 2002 and created Cardinal-Priest of Santi XII Apostoli on October 21, 2003. After the death of Pope John Paul II in 2005, Scola was considered to be among the papabili in the 2005 papal conclave. Srđa Trifković supported him vigorously in Chronicles because he saw him as the only man who might reverse what paleoconservatives see as a the decay of European culture. It is quite probable that Scola's relative youth told against his chances after such a long papacy: the conclave elected Joseph Ratzinger as Pope Benedict XVI.
