No other possibility but change :
The Catholic Church is a continuous organization that has survived almost two thousand years, no small feat. The secret is periodic reformations and spiritual renovations... Those renovations are not easy, painless or soft. They may be cruel !!
There is a lot of corruption inside the Catholic Church now, pedophiles, sexual predators and other clergy that may have dirty hands in money affairs. Other Vatican officials may be honest and decent but extremely stupid in money matters or policy matters. It will be necessary to sack them.
That the Pope is Jesuit and Latin American is an important factor in the necessary and perhaps cruel events that we have to see and observe.
The Jesuit History is full of discipline, of wishes for reformation and for service to the poor and the downtrodden. This order of Jesuits has no History of Big Corruption or Tolerance with cruelty against those below.
Latin Americans more than any others know that Jesuits take a lot of interest in social matters and that the teachings of the Gospel on Charity and Love for the Poor have not been forgotten by this order of priests.
That is why the fact that Monsignor Bergoglio, son of poor immigrant Italians was elected as Pope is so significant. He has feet in two worlds : European Italian Parents and Latin American Argentinian Millieu.
That Argentina has been martyred by dictatorship, oppression and even Plutocracy has not been lost in the Intelligence and Memory of Pope Francis. That Monsignor Bergoglio was always loved by parishioners as humble but very hard, firm and tough is a Great Plus for the Big Task that awaits him.
So, there is no other possibility but change, with enormous consequences for Latin America, and the United States. Corrupt Government Officials in Latin America and U. S Politicians that serve Plutocrats and present themselves as Catholic should not be happy !....
