Reforms We Need | National Catholic Reporter by MSW.  MGB: If the Vatican ever admitted that the Congregation for Bishops was a personnel board, it would be liable for their actions, or rather their inaction, in the abuse of minors (and attempts to cover it up).  That would make the Vatican a defendant in each suit.  Not a bad idea, considering how the bishops are appointed.

This is a lot of work considering that both Our Lady, St. Malachy the explosion of Mt. Aetna and the Italian financial crisis all point to the destruction of Rome and the death of the next pope, with no further western claimants to the Petrine throne (leaving it firmly in the East).  The best administrative action the Curia and the next pope could undertake would be to organize linguistic or national patriarchies now, leaving them with all curial functions within their areas.  Africa should have either one or three such papacies - depending on whether or not the French and English language churches honor the title of the Pope of Alexandria, who is supposed to be Primate of All of Africa.
