Dear Friends

Five articles on today's menu are about Pope Francis.
Day after day, week after week, articles about Francis are the main stories of most Catholic websites and magazines

This has a good side: it's giving Francis support in his effort to renew and reform the Church

But there's a downside: he's becoming a super-star like John Paul II.  This makes one wonder about the hope that he will  down-size the papacy and decentralize the Church

My hope is that after a necessary year of re-structuring - for which he needs to stay in Rome -  he will spend several weeks each year in each of the main geographical areas of the world, supporting his co-ordinator in that area ....as in A Politburo Papacy? .....rather than staying in Rome as the focus of regular huge gatherings 

Thank you for a prayer

God bless!

John W
