text: Yes, I think that's right.
  I doubt that Francis will intervene, though of course he can (the pope has full, immediate and ordinary jurisdiction everywhere in the world).  If he does intervene, I think he would almost have to change canon law -- he can do that, too -- so that a bishop like the one in Madison could not appeal to church law to support his decision.
  But I continue to think that the real problem is not the local bishop, or even the law: it's the teaching on which the law is based. That has to change.
