The Pope wants to make changes but either he is opposed tooth and nail at consultative time or a clique of cardinals and bishops with their own agenda, ignore those changes when implementation time comes.
The UN is on a similar track. The majority of members vote to make the Body perform in line with charter ideals to force peace in violent situations, but a couple of countries veto common sense solutions, imagining they are still in victory flush of the WWII era. Some even have the temerity of making the UN do their bidding because they finance it. So why does the world need either of them? As for Gilbert’s suggestion to send no-nonsense Suella Braverman to Rwanda to set up a British Refugee Welcome Centre, I think she would be more effective cleaning up the drug addicts and homeless who have taken over many once-prosperous towns and cities in the US while Washington unlimited funds to Israel and Ukraine. The times they are a changing. Moody’s now rates the credit outlook for the US for the first time as negative, mentioning it can no longer rely on their Sovereign Currency strength to finance their bottomless expense pit. Roland.
