CWN Editor's Note: For Catholics interested in the politics of the Roman Curia, veteran Vatican-watcher Sandro Magister remarks that even during his hospitalization, Pope Francis has continued his practice of making decisions himself rather than delegating, often ignoring rather than amending canon law.
