He is very quietly, behind the scenes, "packing the court" by appointing as many moderate bishops and cardinals as he can. For now, the traditionalists howl and get their way, but the ratio is going to slowly shift until their voices are ignored. That's the optimistic view, at any rate, from a non-Catholic. -CW John From Censornati -

Whenever the pope says something reasonable, the vatican follows up and says he doesn't know what he's talking about. So much for that infallible thing, but at least they got some good publicity and U-turns are too boring for the media to write about.
