I know, Danno.  I don't know why he has been so mixed in his actions, especially in not laicizing priests that bishops have wanted laicized and in requiring bishops to report abuse allegations to local police in those nations with good police/legal systems .  He did act to remove from active office some bishops (Finn and Neinstedt) but left them with their lofty titles.   

I think Muller was a road block.  Francis needs whoever is in that chair to be working on how Canon Law can be amended to punish deceiving bishops, get  rid of abusing priests, and make Canon Law care about restorative justice for victims.
