Which means the Bishop of Rome—the Pope—would have to personally decide whether to allow her to take Communion despite her public heresy.

As the servant to all these servants, the next Bishop of Rome, whoever he is, will have to find enough room in his heart to embrace all factions, and somehow align those conflicting desires with the wishes of God.
