Well... be careful, here. Consider the source (the National Catholic Distorter... er... "Reporter"), and consider that ideology is alive and well among the bishops. One bishop dirt-talking other bishops (esp. ascribing slimy motives to them) doesn't hold much credibility, in my book.

Agreed, but Pope Francis must have some agenda. I wonder what it is. He has proven to be extremely savvy. Just when you think he is a socialist, he turns the other way and vice versa. I would love to know what his plans are for the direction of the Church. Being a graduate of a Jesuit university, I am skeptical, but I can’t say I have much criticism of anything he has said and done so far. Granted, it is all how you interpret it.
