Dear Marie,  It's truly sad that your only recourse in this debacle is to write a reply to the NCR.  It would be so much better if you could actually have this conversation with Pope Francis, either in person or through correspondence that would actually reach his desk.

1.  You have done nobly and well.  The resignation of the other survivors from the commission confirm the frustrations with the delays, obfuscations, and actual obstruction from the CDF and the Curia.  Sadly as well is that Cardinal Muller simply does not understand what you are talking about - whether because you are a woman or a lay person - because he only speaks cleric.

2.  Cardinal O'Malley had seemed to penetrate the cataract of blindness that impedes Cardinal Muller, but - from my reading of his response to the situation - it may be that his vision only penetrates so far and no further.  My desperate hope is that Pope Francis' vision is not so limited.

3.  If our Pope does nothing, you and your cause are lost.
