Valle Adurni makes the following observations about a secular newspaper’s view resulting from Francis actions:

The Tablet’s Church of the future will look like this:

There will be appropriate respect for the person and office of the Holy Father. However local churches will make all serious decisions for themselves.
In this, there will be real participation by the laity who will have a say in every issue that concerns them. They will participate in the governance of the Church.

Worship will be liturgical and meaningful, and people-centred. Rites will be respected, but not regarded as shibboleths.

All seven sacraments will be administered to all who wish to receive them.

There will be no distinction between men and women, gay or straight, when it comes to deciding who may receive Holy Orders.

Clergy will be able freely to marry.

Remarriage in church after divorce will be available to all.

The Church will firmly stay out of the bedroom.

The use of artificial contraception will be judged to be both wholesome and responsible.

Homosexual unions will be respected and welcomed in a loving community as will all LGBT people and relationships.

While not supporting the practice, the Church will respect and lovingly support those who feel they have no option other than to have recourse to abortion or euthanasia.

There will this and even more, such as the abolishing of sin, in the ‘church’ of Francis in the near future.
