But, to be fair, we have a changing landscape just getting underway in the USCCB.  Look at the increasing number of +Francis appointments, and the recent change of USCCB presidents.  It is very interesting to me (and I think no simple coincidence) that this rather surprising - and pastoral - effort by our bishops takes place a his point in time.  It is almost enough to give one some glimmer of hope!  Wow!
