[Arthur McGowan]

Pope Francis’s most trusted friends in the American hierarchy are Cardinals O’Malley and Wuerl. From this fact, we can know for certain that the Pope knows nothing about what is happening in America, or the Church in America, and never will.

[Mrs. Don-o]

I agree with your assessment except for "...and never will." Beware making judgments about things you cannot know.

It might be your job --- or mine--- or that of some "Paul" ---- to make certain things known to Peter's successor.
