I agree, David T.  I think many of those he is appointing will view the needs of the Church through the lens of their own nations/cultures, and those needs are not the same as those of so-called "first world" nations/cultures, which have to now dominated in that group.  

I have no idea where this may lead, but I see a potential for greater tension, not less.  Not that such an outcome is bad - it is a reality that needs to be faced.  

Can the church be less monolithic and more multicultural?  Can they have married priests/deacons in one country but not another?  Women priests where they would be culturally acceptable but not in another place where women have less social/political status?
