Saya bukan jemaah gereja klatolik Roma..
Saya juga bukan pengikut ajaran agama Nasrani..
Tapi saya hargai usaha gereja katolik Roma ini untuk me reform ajaran gereja
katolik ini.
Sekali lagi: berkat penghargaannya terhadap freedom of opinion dan freedom of
speech yang adalah hasil tempaaan dunia Nasrani, maka pemahaman ajaran Nasrani
oleh gereja katolik dan gereja-gereja anggota WCC terus saja makin maju, makin
manusiawi, dan makin cerdas.
Sekarang saja gereja-geraja itu telah menentng kekerasan, menentang hukuman
mati dan menentang perang.

Rome (CNN) -- Pope Francis has appointed a group of eight cardinals from around
the world to look into ways of reforming the Catholic Church, the Vatican said
Saturday.
The group, which includes U.S. Cardinal Sean O'Malley from Boston, will examine
ways to revise the Vatican constitution, Pastor Bonus, which sets the rules for
running the Roman Curia, or church hierarchy.
The cardinals -- who come from North America, Latin America, Africa, Asia and
Europe -- will first meet in October, the Vatican said.
The move follows on from suggestions made during the General Congregations, a
series of meetings that brought together all the cardinals last month before
they elected Francis as pope, the Vatican said.
The other seven cardinals are: Giuseppe Bertello, president of the Vatican City
State governorate; Francisco Javier Errazuriz Ossa from Chile; Oswald Gracias
from India; Reinhard Marx from Germany; Laurent Monsengwo Pasinya from the
Democratic Republic of the Congo; George Pell from Australia; and Oscar Andres
Rodriguez Maradiaga from Honduras.
An Italian bishop, Monsignor Marcello Semeraro, will act as secretary for the
group.
Pope Francis has already been in touch with the chosen cardinals, the Vatican
said.
The Catholic Church has faced calls for reform in the wake of scandals
involving the sexual abuse of children by priests and allegations of corruption.
The Rev. Thomas Rosica, issuing guidance on behalf of the Vatican, said the
group of cardinals was just that -- "not a commission, committee or council."
It "has no legislative power and its main function is to 'advise' the pope," he
said. "The group will not in any way interfere in the normal functions of the
Roman Curia, which helps the Pope in the daily governance of the Church."
The group's formation, exactly a month after Francis was elected, shows that
the pope "listens attentively" to what the cardinals say, Rosica said.
The document the cardinals are studying is the Apostolic Constitution of Pope
John Paul II, known as the Pastor Bonus, which was published in 1988.
CNN Vatican analyst John Allen, who's also a correspondent for the National
Catholic Reporter, wrote that the news was "a signal that major reform may be
on the horizon."
"Strikingly, there was only one member of the Roman Curia among the eight
cardinals tapped to assist the pope. The rest come from various parts of the
world, with at least one representing each continent," he said.
The group will be coordinated by Rodriguez, from Tegucigalpa, who speaks
several languages and was himself seen as possible contender for the papacy.
In Honduras, "Rodriguez has long led the pack in terms of moral authority and
social influence," Allen wrote in a profile ahead of the papal election, or
conclave.
