Hello Kevin!
I think it is all the symptoms of not knowing God and who they are in relation to God!  They identify so strongly as a bureaucratic authority figure taking on 'Cesar's'  roll model and determined to hold on to it!  LOLOLOLOLOL!!!!!!!!!! 
Even 'Cesar' could not stay in power if he sex abuse children!!!!!!!  Are these drunken (with power & money) old men in Vatican will ever sober up?
They aren't even worth try to recycle!  We will just wait until their time is up and start a new.  Someone's prediction is right, Pope F. is the last Pope.
The time of St. Peter is over and it will follow St. John's spiritual leadership!
It will not be a doctorate degree in theology for the credentials for the religious leadership but how one negotiated reducing EGO and in tune with the Spirit of LOVE & embody the unspeakable beauty, purity, joy and peace of God!!!!!!!!!!
For that we pray oh God!
