"The (papal) court is the leprosy of the papacy,"

The title of this post is a quote from Pope Francis. He and eight cardinals will be discussing the Vatican's administration, mainly the Curia, of which he said "It looks after the interests of the Vatican, which are still, in large part temporal interests. This Vatican-centric vision neglects the world around it and I will do everything to change it." 

The discussion will be private.  The cardinals come from Italy, Chile, India, Germany, Democratic Republic of Congo, the United States, Australia and Honduras.  It is surprising to me that the American cardinal is O'Malley from Boston, who is relatively conservative.  But each cardinal polled their faithful and bishops about what should be discussed at the meetings.  So, maybe O'Malley will do okay.
