Another way of putting it:  do we worship our God,  or just an institution and its rules as  a divine substitute?    ...or perhaps confuse the two as one and the same?   Pope Francis seems to be changing the view of what 'church' is in a gospel sense,  while some of his brother bishops refuse to go there.
