As disappointed as I get when my personal agenda for RCC renewal is left in the dust, I can't help but be amazed and so gratified by Francis.  He may have a scattershot method of action and he is undoubtedly hampered by centuries-old stagnation in the Vatican, but his clear vision and thinking can't be denied.  I thank God for him, and ask that God grant him time to effect at least sowing the seeds of reform.
