I do hope you’re not made at me over my post, since I wasn’t very detailed specifically because I didn’t want you to think I was making stuff up. Sorry about any confusion.

No worries. The fact is that Francis would be reversing centuries of fairly explicitly articulated doctrine. Nonetheless it is within his purview to reverse it should he choose to, just like he can put an end to clerical celibacy. Likely it is only the consequences he faces from the hardcore factions within the faith that prevent these kinds of practical changes from having already occurred.
