Cardinal Dominik Duka of Prague has said the Church "must appear less as admonisher" if it is to reach sceptical Europeans. Fr Dwight Longenecker argues that Pope Francis's interview with an Italian atheist was a "communications disaster". John Allen predicts that Cardinal Seán O'Malley will "be among the most important influences on Francis". And Fr Tim Finigan considers the right and wrong ways to disagree with the Holy Father.
