Time for Pope Francis to step into LCWR case

When I read the latest statement of Cardinal Gerhard Müller of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF) in regard to LCWR, I was stunned, angry, disappointed, and perplexed all at the same time. My first thought: Has he heard that we now have a pope named Francis? His statement seems so out-of step with the spirit and outlook of Pope Francis. But I do keep wondering when Pope Francis will step up and put a stop to this narrow and divisive behavior.
