I have such high regard for these “Monsignori” who are cut from the same mould as the curiales of olden times, exemplary persons, Pope Francis.

He's a hypocrite.

Report: Pope stops naming monsignors

Yeah, I’m going to need someone to translate this.

So I read up on the Roman Curia (Court) whenever a Pope dies or in the case of Pope Benedict retires the entire Curia except the Cardinal Camerlengo and Major Penitentiary resign their office (sede vacante)

I think Pope Francis is utilizing what he knows of serving his entire life in South America. The Pontificial Commission for Latin America is a dicastery of the Roman Curia. Established by Pope Pius XII on April 19, 1958, it is charged with providing assistance to and examining matters pertaining to the Church in Latin America.

I am not Catholic, but what does the Catholic Church in Latin America believe. It was established prior to Vatican Council II in the 1960s.

Just maybe the church will return to its Conservative roots. i will try to dig a little more information.

I commented on this that if Pope Francis felt the need to say this to the Curia, secular political folks need it even more. Especially American political folks, on both sides of the aisle.

"Pope sends out his blessing and thanks to people who did necessary, but often thankless and seemingly meaningless, work for The Church."

I'm floored!

I have known a few monsignors over the years. They typically prefer to be called “Father” and consider the “monsignor” too fancy a term for a guy who merely has been around the block a few times. I don’t think too many priests would care if the term were no longer used.

**To these two qualities of professionalism and service, I would also like to add a third, which is holiness of life.**

BTTT!
