Vatican-watchers suspect that Pope Benedict XVI may eventually undertake a major reform of the Roman Curia.Maybe he does.
But two years into his pontificate, the Holy Father has established a fairly clear pattern: he prefers a quiet administrative approach, eschewing dramatic change.
So rather than wait for a complete reshuffling of the Curia, or a thorough overhaul of Vatican personnel, I'm inclined to look for more subtle changes in the way the current staff operates.
We have not seen any major changes in personnel recently. But have we seen noteworthy shifts in performance?
