    Some folks didn't get it. Gorbachev tried to reform the Soviet Union and ended up unintentionally presiding over its dissolution.

        @danieldennett why does this concern you? People make the Church not one man. Explain why you like your favourite colour #thehardproblem

        @danieldennett The big difference is that the Church is used to dissolutions of some sort, called schisms, as ye all know.

        @guychamberland @danieldennett I would say the big difference is that Francis has reformed precisely nothing. Not one word of catechism.

        @danieldennett RR is to blame. G's foes/hardliners took 'evil empire' rhetoric seriously. Had R worked with G, reformists may have won.

        @danieldennett @vosdscott the difference is that the Church is not purely a human institution, but rather is guided by the Holy Spirit.
