How Pope Francis can reform the Vatican Curia

Commentary
As the cardinals pack their bags and catch their planes home, Pope Francis is left with the unfinished work of reforming the Vatican Curia, something practically all of the cardinals said they wanted. But it is not clear what they mean by “reform.” “Reform” is, after all, in the eye of the beholder.

I would distinguish between two types of reform: better management and comprehensive reform.

Much of the scandals surrounding the Curia recently are simple management problems that can be dealt with following “best practices” of business and government.

A very interesting piece @ ncronline.org/news/vatican/how-pope-francis-can-reform-vatican-curia

and, it’s interesting to see just how big and complicated this body is @ en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_Curia

The National Catholic Reporter is not a viable Catholic media source. They do not accurately reflect Catholic teaching, and as such should be ignored. They are liberal and biased.

They are not liberal and biased. They are anti-Catholic. They exist to tear down and destroy the Church. The fact that they have the word “Catholic” in their name means nothing.

Wikipedia is just a terrible source for information. It’s only information posted by any person who cares to put in their two cents worth. Hardly one to use to back up a position. Keep looking.

AFA commentary goes, the NCR doesnt reflect Catholic teaching.

That aside, their reporter, John Allan, is know for his credible and authentic journalistic skills and is known as a credible Vatican reporter.

But it’s important to know that there is a difference between “commentary” and “reporting”.

Those lines have been blurred and most news consumers arent journalistically savvy enough to spot the difference.

If they are anti-Catholic, that by definition makes them biased. And they are liberal in terms of traditional Catholic views.

In short:

“Turn the Church into a modern democratic republic.” No thanks, Our Lord did not establish His Church as such.

The fact that the author doesn’t want the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith to deal efficiently with investigating theologians says it all.

Thank you all for pointing this out. I sensed something wrong with the site but couldn’t get my finger on it. It showed up in a search for "Catholic? references.
