I wasn't thinking of women's ordination in particular (though Francis is practically indifferent to the profound problem of the church's ontological view of women). He's obviously critical of clericalism and centralization and has tried to introduce reforms, but even these modest gestures provoke hysteria among traditionalists. The abiding presence of a reactionary Pope Emeritus may also be a factor. My impression is that Francis wants to sow seeds that may eventually disrupt the status quo after his death but is otherwise wary.
