Pope Francis Faces a Big Week in his Effort to Reform the Vatican
At Religion News Service, David Gibson reports that Pope Francis is beginning a key week in his effort to reform the papacy, as he develops the plan to overhaul the Roman Curia that has been plagued with corruption. The reforms mark a huge challenge, and will dictate whether Francis’ tenure is seen as transitional, or as reformatory. Cardinal Reinhard Marx of Munich said, “The mentality must change. The church is not a business, but the methods are not so different. We have to work more in teams, in projects.”
