Pope Francis on Thursday conceded that his efforts
at Vatican reform have attracted opposition -- both “open resistance,”
offered in a spirit of constructive dialogue, and “hidden” and
“malicious” resistance, which he said “sprouts in distorted minds."
n his annual speech to the Roman Curia on Thursday, Pope Francis
presented a sweeping vision of reform for the Vatican’s central
administration, outlining the values he wants that reform to embody and
insisting that old bureaucratic patterns such as “promoting to remove”
must come to an end.
