"it is useful to ask oneself if the reform has experienced some weak point and where and how it can be relaunched for the good of the Christian people,"

"Some weak point?" It's all weak in its present form, Cardinal.

"Relaunch the reform?" Isn't there some line about if you do something one way and you get a predictable but unsatisfactory outcome, you need to try another way?

"For the good of the Christian people?" Indeed. Don't relaunch the reform again, Cardinal. Let the Reform die its natural death.

Is Sodano a Mason?

Found this on the web, but the sources look odd. However...

In March 1998, Secretary of State Sodano, who was the papal nuncio in Chile from 1977 until 1988, attempted to raise his profile as a potential Papal successor by declaring that the Roman Catholic Church needed "urgent and continuous reform" under a strong papacy for the new millennium. He then astonished Vatican-watchers by praising Hans Küng, the Swiss theologian banned to teach by the Vatican. At the Second Vatican Council, from 1962 to 1965, Kung was one of two young theological stars advising the West German contingent - the other was Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger who is head of the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith - formerly The Holy Office of the Inquisition. Obviously, there is no connection between either Sodano or Ratzinger and Freemasonry at this time. (Sources: Pope's right-hand man stakes his claim to throne, Times of London, 2/26/98. + "Keeper of the Straight and Narrow. The Pope's chief enforcer of doctrine and morals, Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger is the most powerful prince of the Church and one of the most despised.", TIME, 12-06-1993,)
