text: Why is it that Pope Francis could reply albeit surreptitiously, to the questions posed by the Argentine bishops yet he refuses to reply to the dubia presented to him by several cardinals?
  There was no doubt in the minds of most of the USA and Canadian bishops and many more around the world that there had been no change in doctrine concerning the reception of Holy Communion by those in adulterous relationships.
  If the Pope desires to remove all doubt and confirm the brethren, why doesn't he come out and say so publicly? Why does he as Supreme Pontiff, Vicar of Christ and head of the Church not spell out what he means to the whole Church and not just communicate his private opinion privately to the bishops' conference in his home country? What is he afraid of?
  I doubt that the conclave will ever again elect a Jesuit to the See of Peter.
