Commentary
As the cardinals pack their bags and catch their planes home, Pope Francis is left with the unfinished work of reforming the Vatican Curia, something practically all of the cardinals said they wanted. But it is not clear what they mean by "reform." "Reform" is, after all, in the eye of the beholder.

I would distinguish between two types of reform: better management and comprehensive reform.

Much of the scandals surrounding the Curia recently are simple management problems that can be dealt with following "best practices" of business and government.

The Vatican, is a nation unto itself.

Being a Gnostic, I have my beefs with the Catholic Church, but I think Pope Francis is the best choice to reform the establishment, which is in dire need of reform.

He may even be better than John Paul.

I won't live to see it, but one day in the future, humanity will look back at organized religion like we look back at dinosaurs.
