Novus Ordo: More DeCentralization Coming?...

Council of Cardinals considers decentralizing authority over permanent deacons 

SOURCE 

The group of cardinals advising Pope Francis on reforming the Vatican bureaucracy has considered specific ways to decentralize authority in the Catholic church, proposing in particular that more responsibility for permanent deacons could move from Rome to local bishops’ conferences.

The nine member Council of Cardinals spoke in their June 12-14 meeting about “transferring some faculties from the Roman Curia to local bishops or bishops’ conferences,” Vatican spokesman Greg Burke said in a short briefing June 14.

Burke said the group spoke specifically about transferring some authority over permanent deacons from the Vatican’s Congregation for the Clergy to national bishops’ conferences. The spokesman said authority that could be transferred includes allowing a deacon who has become a widower to remarry.

Whowudathunkit? On Communion debate, Francis opts for decentralization

Whether "Pope" Francis intended it or not, by saying that the implementation of his document "Amoris Laetitia" depended on the guidelines of local bishops, he has decentralized resolution of the debate over Communion for divorced and civilly remarried Catholics.

CRUX

Towards the end of Amoris Laetitia, Pope Francis’s document on the family, the pontiff writes that when priests have to make judgments in concrete cases such as pastoral care of divorced and civilly remarried Catholics, they are to do so “according to the teaching of the Church and the guidelines of the bishop.”

One wonders if he knew at the time just what a conflicting welter of responses that injunction would elicit.
