VATICAN CITY: Pope Francis on Thursday advised Vatican authorities to begin naming ladies and laypeople to top occupations in the Curia, the Holy See administration that he is trying to shake-up.
In his most recent broadside against imperviousness to change in the Catholic church's hallways of force, the 80-year-old pontiff cautioned that the change procedure he propelled in 2013 needed to prompt to more than a corrective "cosmetic touch up" or plastic surgery to expel wrinkles.
"Dear siblings, it's not the wrinkles in the congregation that you ought to fear, yet the stains!" Francis said in his Christmas discourse to senior Curia authorities.
The rankling tone will not have rocked anyone's world to the gathered staff. In 2014 he depicted some of them as fraudulent, status-fixated careerists who were experiencing "otherworldly Alzheimer's".
This year he set out 12 standards controlling the change he needs to see. One of those was "catholicism" in the feeling of "comprehensive", and it was under that heading that he made ostensibly his most noteworthy remarks.

Alluding to the Vatican dicasteries, or offices, that he has tried to streamline and redesign, Francis said it would be "suitable" to get more laypeople, particularly where their skill made them more able than staff drawn from the pastorate.
"The advancement of the part of ladies and laypeople in the congregation and their arrangement to driving parts in the dicasteries, with specific thoughtfulness regarding multiculturalism, is besides of extraordinary significance," Francis said.
As things stand, all the dicasteries, including those shaken-up by Francis, are going by religious figures and the Curia has been an administrative shut shop for a considerable length of time.
