• Pope, Bishops, Curia. The Reforms That Are Coming by Sandro Magister

What seems to be transpiring is a “council of the crown” around the Pope, with cardinals from the five continents. Names? Timothy Dolan of New York, Odilo Scherer of São Paulo, Brazil, Christoph Schönborn of Vienna, Peter Erdö of Budapest, George Pell of Sydney, Luis Antonio Gokim Tagle of Manila.

Benedict XVI was beaten by the opposition and worn down. If Pope Francis co-governs with an elite group of prelates, then perhaps he will have the strength needed to clear out the stables. I’m surprised to find Cardinal Pell on the list!

The problem is whether some of those prelates are part of the problem. Comments would be welcome to sift through Roman exorcist tells Pope to beware a quick death and the Freemasons. I’m always sceptical about Masonic conspiracy stories, but the mainstream world follows the money!

We’ll see.
