I agree that Francis’ action achieved this good effect.

What I find distressing is the inability to recognize (or refusal to acknowledge) that this action also had other effects, effects that might not be so benign. I have argued that among those effects was the sowing of new confusion about the binding character of liturgical laws in general, about the influence of a pope on good order in the community, and so on.

This whole matter should have been handled differently from the start.

Bingo.

Obedience and true humility go hand in hand, always. "Humility" without obedience may not be humility.

I agree.

BXVI had warned regarding the Medjugorje apparitions: http://catholiclight.stblogs.org/archives/2010/01/pope-benedict-t-1.html and then I read this: http://www.medjugorjetoday.tv/9174/new-pope-approved-of-medjugorje-visits/

Disobedience (confusion) as well?
