Rumours and discontent to the fore as Pope Francis’s ‘reform process’ meets opposition. If anyone ever had any doubt that there are forces inside both the Catholic Church and the Roman Curia working against Pope Francis and his “reform process”, they need only look at events of the last three weeks during the Vatican’s synod on the family.
To the non-Catholic world, the conclusions might look
tame in that they represent no significant (doctrinal) changes, rather
an amount of pastoral fine-tuning. Much ado about nothing?
