CAEL, I sure hope you are feeling better.  As to your point about Francis, I think it's not so much that he's embroiled in too many details, as it is he is now fully aware of the wealth of the global church.  There are Archdioceses that are worth more than third world countries.  We tend to think of the Church's wealth as being kept in the Vatican, but the real wealth is outside the Vatican.  The current structure which places all authority in the hands of a bishop is partially designed to keep all assets in the hands of one man who answers to Rome.  One need only remember Dolan's slick little cemetery move, which had to be approved by Rome, to understand that asset control is a higher priority than abused kids.  I don't think Francis is going to change anything about this system.  This is also the reason there is such stonewalling on any change in the priesthood.  It's a closed system designed to protect both huge assets and the control of the sacramental product.
