Here is another viewpoint about Francis and Reform:

Key - So-called Vatican II Catholics should not lose heart, though. Burke is only conveying the suggestions the C9 have made to the pope. It is still up to Francis to accept, reject, or modify them. He can also circumvent the Roman Curia and curtail its power by bolstering the authority of Church entities outside the Vatican; for example, the national and regional episcopal conferences and the Synod of Bishops   

Francis used the occasion to repeat, once again, the importance of his 2013 apostolic exhortation, Evangelii gaudium. He said it was an up-dated version of Paul VI’s exhortation from 1975, Evangelii nuntiandi, what he called “the most important document after Vatican II.”

That, in and of itself, should give hope to Catholics longing for changes in the way the Church carries out her mission in this post-modern age.
