– On Saturday, Pope Francis named eight cardinals from around the world, with only one from Europe, to a permanent advisory panel to counsel him on how the church is run, and how to reform the Vatican bureaucracy.

“It’s important because of how immediately following his election he’s impaneled this group.”

Sister Maureen Paul Turlish is on the steering committee of the Philadelphia chapter of Voice of the Faithful, whose motto is “Keep the Faith, Change the Church.”

She says although Francis became pope a little less than four weeks ago, he’s wasting no time in showing his willingness to break with tradition, rejecting many of the trappings of the papacy.
