Appreciate the measured analysis that is neither an attempt to provide cover for nor hyperventaling and narrative-crafting. HR-related items are rarely neat and clean.

It seems likely that the Church of the near future will have fewer schools, hospitals, and church buildings under direct control. Putting the pope in charge of every Catholic nonprofit is not the answer. St. Peter responded to the scandal of unfed widows by saying "It is not right that we should abandon the preaching of the Gospel to serve at table." The fewer irrelevant properties, media companies, investment banks, and sovereign military orders that are run by "The Church" the better. They are best run by the Church when they are run by individual members of the Church, whether they are bishops or not.
