text: Pope Francis is NOT addressing ordinary Catholics.  He is speaking to brother bishops---and he is doing what both Matthew 18:15-17 and Luke 17:3 --- suggest that be done.  There should always be at least ONE other witness.  Since Francis was speaking to his 'brothers' as a group----he was not pointing out any ONE of them.  Pope John Paul II employed public embarrassment as a major tool in attempting to 'silence' those who were engaged in ministry in Latin and South America.  JP II didn't read much---and didn't take the time, either, to educate himself about much about the gospel preference for the poor and vulnerable.  
  
  
  The People of God cannot be treated as if they were all manufactured on an assembly line---which is what some of these cardinals want----a one-size-fits-all LAW for all, everywhere.  
  I am delighted that Francis is thinking of including competent laity, including women, to work in the dicasteries---rather than keeping JUST members of the hierarchy there.
