The question is not clerical culture but Medieval governance. It has past its prime. The people need to demand change. Franklin Douglass got it right. Power does not cede anything without a struggle. Of course, it is hard to get parishioners excited about parish council elections, let alone change in the Church. Of course Francis can be unpredictable. He may yet turn his Council of Cardinals to Patriarchs and let each handle these matters.

I find it ironic that the meeting occurs at the same time that an obviously gay Cardinal gets his wings at the same time the Vatican is seeking to make an example of another obviously gay ex-Cardinal.
