Upgrade: The Pope’s eight Cardinals are meeting this week while their coordinator Tegucigalpa Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga is giving interviews. He revealed to the French daily La Croix that the first topic of the meeting was the Synod of Bishops. According to him the Pope wants the Synod to be a - quote - «permanent institution of consultation». For Gloria.tv this sounds as if the Synod should become a parliament.

Downgrade: The eight Cardinals want to downgrade the Secretary of State. According to Rodriguez this institution was in the beginning only the secretary of the Pope, not – quote - «something like a prime minister» or «a viceroy».

No Miracles: To the question whether the closing of the Vatican Bank was still an option, Rodriguez said: “It is better to take care of a patient than to resurrect a dead. To cut oneself an arm off is the kind of surgery we will avoid.”

Absolutely Necessary? For Rodriguez it is – quote - «absolutely necessary» to institute a Congregation for the lay-people. But he cannot explain what function such a Congregation would have since “lay people” is no administrative category over which the Vatican has any power that could or should be handled by a Congregation.

Better Things to Do: Cardinal Rodriguez wishes that the Pontifical Council for the Family would be lead by a married couple. For him, this would be a “marvelous sign”. Others believe however that father and mother have more important things to do than to run an office in the Vatican.

Marginalized Children: According to Rodriguez consultations like the questionnaire on the family will belong to the ordinary method of the Vatican. To the objection that this has stirred up controversy, he answered that the Church is a mother who follows not only her – quote – “very good” children. It is though a fact, that the “very good” children have not been listen to very much lately, especially not by bishops and cardinals.
