Franciscan Reform

Sandro Magister: Two Reforms Dear To Francis Flunk the Test. Too Full of Errors

“PRAEDICATE EVANGELIUM”
This phantom chapter has the title “Council of Cardinals” and would concern that band of nine cardinals, in reality now reduced to six, called by Francis to accompany him from the beginning of his pontificate so that he can be precisely assisted by them in the reform of the curia and in the governance of the universal Church.

Does the text refer to the universal Church, or is that an interpolation by Magister? Who will be the one to sever the Roman Curia from the Pope's responsibilities concerning the universal Church?


THE NEW STATUTES OF THE JOHN PAUL II INSTITUTE

Here the sloppiness of the writing is even more serious, because this is not a matter of a draft, but of a definitive text produced by a university-level pontifical institute, and which moreover has received the approval of the congregation for Catholic education.
