Pope Francis at Philly Cathedral: Break Down These Walls! | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: A very subtle slap at Chaput, however he did not say anything about women beyond recognizing their contribution in their current roles.  I do not think Francis wants them to think too far outside the box - and even if he does, the bishops of the United States will not.  (Nore will they go too far in insisting that their benefactors pay higher taxes for more social services). They will likely say that there was nothing new here and that is a shame.  It reminds me of what Abraham said to the rich man about sending Lazarus back from the grave to warn his brothers - that if Moses and the prophets are not enough, not even one coming back from the dead will move them.  Jesus, of course, was speaking of himself and the same can be said about papal visits.  Francis will have to back up his words with actions on personnel - even if those not moved are faking it, they will at least act right.
