Yep. Easier to point fingers than to get involved. Many of us who share your thoughts have to deal with folks who will not get away from the hierarchical model. IMHO its not all our fault, although we could use some "leadership" from the USCCB. Sometimes I wonder if we are being fair with Francis. When I was a young priest, or later a junior chaplain, I could focus on my own interests in ministry. When I became a pastor or a supervisor, I could not longer do that because I had to deal with a much bigger picture and so develop my own focus. Francis has the whole church to lead, and some of our interests are diametrically opposed to each other, and some cultures very different from others. IMHO he has to focus on the church throughout the world, not just on a few special interests no matter how worthwhile they may, or may not, be. He has the mission. We need to get involved where we live and not hide behind finger pointing. Cosa fare .  .  . We don't have a "faciamo cosi" yet.
