Synodalism Façade: Francis Institutes More Centralism

Francis published a June 15 rescript regarding the erection of new religious communities by diocesan bishops.

The rescript takes away from the bishops the right to institute a public association of the faithful which aims at becoming a religious community.

Now, a bishop “must” obtain a written permission of the Dicastery for Religious. This means: more centralism. The measure comes immediately into force.

As a matter of fact, before the Council, there was much less bureaucracy and much for freedom for the local bishops.
