Not quite. David, I suggested Francis has demonstrated the guts to do much more. V1 gave the Bishop of Rome universal jurisdiction over everyone and everything Catholic, and it does really take gut to exercise uncontested power. V2 restored some balance by adding episcopal collegiality as an equally core value in Church governance. 

With regard to communion for remarried active Catholics, Francis made it very clear he was in favour, but none the less convened two synods in an attempt to garner collegial support. After all, what loving Christian would not want to ease the burden of fellow Christians, Francis must have thought. When his colleges failed to demonstrate their sense of God's mercy wasn't up to Francis aspirations, he must have been sorely tempted to exercise his V1 authority. Instead he exercised constraint, and wrote this beautiful piece in which he maintained the status quo, and yet authorized priests to be merciful in the internal forum.

That took guts, don't you think?
