He would love to see a Church that is simpler in terms of bureaucracy. He doesn’t want its central and peripheral institutions – the Vatican curia, the diocesan chanceries, the episcopal conferences – to become “like the armor of Saul, which prevented the young David from walking.”
That must be why Ratzinger did nothing to simplify the bureaucracy in the 24 years he served in it. Instead, he made the Curia to be the gatekeeper of every single decision that came out of episcopal conferences, and made his CDF to resemble the Holy Office of Ottaviani, which he purported to despise as a periti at Vatican II.
I've read so much of what Ratzinger has said the past two days, little of which is reflected in what he did.
Watch what BXVI does, not what he says.
