De-centralization of the Church...it won't work

Rumor has it that Pope Francis wishes to de-centralize the Church and make it so that the Church is less "Vatican-centric" so to speak...I'm going to go out on a major limb and say it's not going to work...

Vatican II was trying to attempt to restore the proper sense of collegiality amongst the Bishops' and the Pope, alas, there was a bit of a problem in implementation....the appointment of liberal Bishops'

Really collegiality would work nearly perfectly, if all of the Bishops' of the world were of the same mind, accord and shared the same exact Faith....problem is that they don't, so it won't work...

Let's be honest about the whole situation, although our unity comes from Christ, the source of all unity, many of our Bishops' do not share the same Faith, or even the same mindset...we need only look at how various Bishops' wish to apply Church Law on various situations for example of this:

Now of course this is a problem when sinners run the local churches, imperfect Bishops running a perfect Church.

One thing that I've noticed is a lack of public statements from Rome on the issues of the day. The only thing positive I have to say about this, is perhaps this is code for Bishops' to do their job so that Rome doesn't have to. (As it should be)....

If the Bishops' had been teaching, governing and sanctifying as they should have been, this whole attempt to de-centralize the Church wouldn't be such a bad idea. Indeed we're not supposed to place our trust in princes, our trust should be in Christ Jesus alone...but with these crop of Bishops' how in the world would the de-centralization of the Church be a good thing? Need we remember the Winnipeg statement from the Canadian Bishops...or our very own Bishops' here in the US supporting every big government agenda item/DNC talking points....we all know that this would be a bad idea.

The reform that needs to take place isn't Rome per se, but rather, first and foremost the interior formation of the Church (i.e. her Liturgy) and the Bishops first and foremost doing their job...and laxity in the Faith no longer be accepted and un punished...Bad Bishops were slowly being deposed under Benedict XVI...who knows what we'll see under the emancipated one...

The Holy Spirit is indeed in charge....but also the Holy Spirit is logos, reason, order as well, with the situation in the western church, the real solution is to start cleaning house....
