Pope Asks for "Collegiality" and Refuses It

According to a special wish of Pope Francis, the general assembly of the Italian Bishops chooses today democratically three bishops out of which Francis said he would name the new president of the Italian Bishops' Conference. At the same time Francis announced in yesterday's meeting with the bishops that he will not respect the choice if it does not please him, "Remember, I am not bound by the list."
