Editor’s Note: Here is where the public outrage had its effect, and shows that there are many in the Vatican who will support further corrections of Pope Francis if only they make their voices heard. This story confirms the fact that the Sutri Initiative is a viable possibility if those Catholics who have influence would back it.

It also shows that perhaps at last the Vatican staff, whose pension fund was recently admitted to be at risk, are finally taking action to preserve that by reversing decisions which would make the Jubilee Year a flop. The damage has already been done. And the Dicastery is not helping, since all they will say now is that the Pilgrimage of Sodomites is not officially sponsored; NOT that it has been banned, as it should be.
