    A leader of vision. May he live long enough to keep those windows open.

    That’s an enormous “if”.

    Pope Francis faces formidable opposition to these goals in the USA (from the National Catholic Repoter May 19, 2023 by Tom Roberts):

    ‘A disturbing symbiosis exists between the disruptive, norm-trashing far right in our national politics and a similar force that has become prominent within the Catholic hierarchy in the United States. The relationship is alarming, given the established wisdom of church-state separation, but hardly surprising. As Mary Jo McConahay illustrates in Playing God: American Catholic Bishops and The Far Right, the two entities have become, over decades, increasingly dependent on and subservient to each other in a mutual pursuit of cultural influence.

    Neither the political nor religious — in this case Catholic — right has gained its impressively disruptive power overnight. The evolution has occurred over decades.’
