BRICK LAYING IS A SLOW JOB IF IT IS TO BE DONE WELL AND POPE LEO IS RESTORING THINGS AT THE VATICAN BRICK BY BRICK

How Pope Leo is Reshuffling the Curia: Musical Chairs and Power Games

Randazzo named Prefect for Legislative Texts as modernists are sidelined


by Serre Verweij

This is the conclusion of a great article I just read at Rorate Caeli. Brick by brick, Pope Leo is showing the world that His Holiness in secret, though, isn’t Pope Francis II but rather Pope Benedict XVII.

This is the conclusion to the post by Rorate Caeli:

Conclusion

Pope Leo XIV is finally showing his hand. Unambiguously orthodox prelates are back in fashion, and canon law has returned to its supreme position. The era of personal favoritism is over. Those who expected Leo to institutionalize the "Francis Revolution" were mistaken.


The question now is which of Francis’s other policies will be reversed. Will the Curia return to the dominance it enjoyed under John Paul II? What is the future of the seminaries? These shifts suggest a papacy that is not just "conservative," but one intent on a total restoration of order.


I regret that the author calls this papacy “conservative “ a political descriptor, he should have used the religious word for it. This papacy is orthodox! You can read the full article with great insights into Pope Benedict XVII by pressing the Rorate title at the top of this post!
