Didn't God tell you that only popes who allow child abuse and mafia laundering of money in the Vatican Bank get the fast track so that we can all emulate fear and greed!!   Mary is/was truly the saint who walked amongst us.  Unfortunately our popes only want to preserve their power and are often very reactionary.  Time for the People of God to recognize that we have a very poor leadership structure.  We need a synod of the laity to clean up this structure and elect our own leadership.  The clerics could be invited as observers...
