{UAH} Popular Pope Francis determined to reform Roman Curia

His very great popularity all over the world turns the new Pontiff into the very necessary

asset to monitor the reform of the Roman Curia or Church government, one of the things for

which he was elected Pope! As he continues to gather hundreds of thousands every week

in St Peter's Square ( where last Wednesday were seen some Ugandan pilgrims:), and as

he has just seen off a triumphant WYD at Rio, and as he has just emerged with distinction on Syria

( a thing which pushed four French imams to come to rome for the general weekly  audience and also

   a thing which pushed to Rome the Patriarch of Antioch actually a visitor to the Pope )

and as he has concluded with tremendous success the week-long ceremonies in favour of catechists

whose 100,000 representatives from all over the world were part of the estimated 250,000 that attended

this Sunday Mass presided by him in St Peter's Square, and as today morning he will address a special

consistory of cardinals ( to be televised live on Mondovision ) before whom he will decree the date for the

official canonization of late Pope John Paul II and late Pope John XXIII ( two great world legends), and as he will

this Thursday naturally triumph in Assisi to honour St Francis whom he chose to guide his very popularly humble 

pontificate, the charismatic pope Francis is now fully endowed with the necessary tools to bring change in the 

roman curia and eventually on world scene where his message is widely welcomed notably by the poor and the

unprivileged! And he has already become an instant world hero surpassing all in greatness!

This great figure is now the one to do what was believed to be the impossible up to this day : to effect profound change

in Church Government! And his effort won't pass for an arbitrary thing but rather for a well-worked out programme that

has been confided to eight very great and powerful fearless intellectual cardinals two of whom were expected to become

Pope last March. They are all very brilliant administrators who are seen as real heroes in their continents of origin  where

they are strongly appreciated for being  very experienced pastors on terrain! 

The group will play a consultative role, the real decision-making authority being the pope himself. And they are expected to 

handle their findings and recommendations to the Pope this coming October 2013. And definitely the Pope will listen to them

as they are his trusted aides! And they are reported favourable to the Pope's idea of governing the Church with accent put on

giving more powers to the local episcopal synods which the Pope will reach directly and quickly without spending time in the

via of the Roman Curia and the Papal Court  which he is said to do away with in future...

The eight prelates are:

1- Cardinal Maradiaga of Honduras, a very intelligent polyglot who has always appeared as a papabile will be the official

     co-ordinator of the group. Cardinal Maradiaga is reported very critical of anything inefficient or out of place....

2- Cardinal Gracias of India, a very great authority on canon law, is expected to play a key role in this field and he will be of

     valuable aid to the motoring of the expected reforms.

3- Cardinal Marx of Munich Germany is a person reported fearless and very frank and has a vision for a strong Church.

4- Cardinal Sean O'Malley of the USA. Reported dynamic and visionary on many issues and is a very popular Church leader

      who is very intelligent and respected!

5- Cardinal Bertello of Italy, a very popular Church figure in Italy who is said to be critical of a number of things in Church

     administration.

6- Cardinal Errazuriz janvier of Chile in South America, an experienced prelate who will bring on board Latin American experience.

7- Cardinal Laurent Pasinya Monsengwo, of Congo ( DRC ), a very intrepid intellectual charismatic cardinal who was a very

     strong papabile in the last conclave and who has vision on Church, politics, finances, and development. Monsengwo is a very

     clever person who will advocate that very wise vision from Africa, a continent endowed with vast flourishing numbers of

     vocations, and has a mastery experience in the work of catechists, an institution which many European countries are now

     yearning for! Africa will also be Catholicism's future financial muscle as the continent is reported to be the fastest developing

     region in the world. Monsengwo has the full trust of Pope Francis!

8- Cardinal George Pell of Australia is expected to bring in much as he is a very powerful administrator with a lot of initiative.

     The Pope also appointed Italian intellectual Bishop Marcello Semeraro to be the official secretary to the group.

     Naturally, these portraits include nobody from the bureaucratic Curia, and the Pope knows why!

     The pope also wants to bring forward a Chuirch that attacks the periphery and has power to decide on local key issues.

     And it appears that it's in this way the Church will fight against poverty while at the same time monetary institutions are 

     constantly advised to dress up and make reforms that will put man at the centre instead of thinking in terms of gains and

     profits!

     Pope Francis, a man with a backbone, will not at all fail the Church which he is instead throwing on great lines that will enable

     the world to rightly clamour for the change!.
