You seem redundant, Kieran. You (1) drum out the same thing -- "Francis won't change canon law" -- but never suggest why he is swayed not to or suggest who is influencing him, name names, or mention what his motives are; (2) never list updated reports of other canon law experts/ scholars on this subject (if there are any); (3) never talk about "reform" movements within different canon law societies attempting to persuade Francis (if any); (4) never talk about how canon lawyers' accounts differ in detail, in style and in tone regarding this issue; (5) consensus among canon lawyers on this issue; any on your side? (My dad's best friend was a legal expert and always did that.) Then you bring in the United Nations Committees, which few politicians or citizens in the States take seriously, especially if one considers the results of their collaborative efforts (like UN soldiers raping women in Congo) in many parts of the world or indifference to abuse in Muslim countries and in Hindu India.
