To what extent Müller’s view reflects that of Pope Francis, and to what extent it will impact the discussion going forward, is unclear.

Pope Francis seems to support further decentralization. Evangelii Gaudium can't be dismissed in the manner that one might dismiss his "off-the-cuff" remarks. And he has also been characterized as an autocratic decision maker.

Funny, we picked the same line to highlight. Time will tell what actually happens here, but there's an awful lack of clarity these days. It's as if the Church is in a state of brain fog.
