US bishops are not rushing to Francis-led agenda

MGB: I would hope that the assembled bishops would protest the process and take nominations from the floor, but that would be too much to ask. Maybe if they indicate that they reject both on their ballots, it might wake the leadership up. They need a constitutional crisis. Eventually God will sort it out, because the old steers will age out or die and the Francis bishops will have a majority. Until then, expect the same kind of drama.

Some of the old steers are hoping that they have a chance to make Burke pope. Francis is too healthy to consider that and more likely to make major changes, making such an election a vote for an anti-pope. I prefer an American patriarch and that it be Sean Cardinal O'Malley, OFM, but only when the Cardinal electors (probably all Metropolitans) are sane.
