Why don't Cardinals Wuerl or Cupich get on major media and refute all that is being said by the strong retro. conservative group against Pope Francis?  There is TOO MUCH SILENCE from them and too much amplifying from retro. conservatives and from websites like Fr. Z's place, or from commentaries on EWTN.  The USCCB as a group needs to be confronted as well.  American Catholic need to know what is going on as well.  Sometimes silence is not golden.  At times, it's  just plain yellow. 

American Catholics [and apparently Italian Catholics, too] need to know where their cardinals, arch/bishops stand as well.  Often times within a metropolitan [state]---there isn't a uniform pastoral approach to much of anything.  Its  time to present facts, and point by point refute the points of contention.  

I often think that this is what Jesus was facing during his public ministry.  As many here, I also pray for Pope Francis [every day at Mass], that he remain faithful to the Gospel---as he has been.
