VATICAN CITY — After the conclusion of their meetings, two cardinals from Pope Francis’ group of eight have revealed that Curia reform will largely focus on service to Pope Francis and the universal Church in its various locales.
“We want to change the look — that the Curia be at the service of the Pope and also at the service of the local Churches, the universal Church and the episcopal conferences,” Cardinal Oswald Gracias of India said.
Cardinal Gracias was appointed by Pope Francis as one of the eight members to the council of cardinals instituted by the Holy Father in April to advise him on matters regarding Church reform and governance.
“The vision of the Pope is an open and merciful Church,” Cardinal Gracias said, also touching on the upcoming Synod of Bishops slated to take place in October 2014.
