Will Francis Keep His Word?

Pope Francis sacked conservative Cardinal Müller with the excuse that he no longer intends to prolong roles in the curia beyond five years.

Sandro Magister has published a list of curial employees, whose five-year term expires soon:
• liberal Cardinal Jean-Louis Tauran, 74, on September 1
• liberal Cardinal Gianfranco Ravasi, 74, on September 3
• liberal Dean of the Roman Rota, Pio Vito Pinto, 76, on September 23
• conservative master of Ceremonies Monsignor Guido Marini, 52, on October 1
• conservative Archbishop Georg Gänswein, 60, on December 7.
