Looking forward to policing the culture of the church in 2017: Distinctly Catholic: Looking ahead to 2017, thinking about what stories will emerge, may seem like a fool's errand, but I will point out some key issues we'll be covering.
MGB: Most of the Trump essay had nothing to do with the Church. As for Trump, his goal is to make himself look good. He may just be craven enough to do the right thing. It is the people he brings with him that I worry about. The permanent government will stop most really stupid ideas (including even Republican congressional staff), but some insanity will probably slip through.
Francis is working so hard in Rome, I am worried he won't notice what is happening in the American Church. Still, a lot of us trust him, although a few public firings would make me trust him more.
I like "Team Francis" but the existence of a rump group of bishops (how appropriate a term) could sew confusion. Let there be retirements. I still think LifeSiteNews and their ilk are best ignored and marginalized, although public condemnations of them would be nice.
