Maribor Archdiocese Administrator: Pope Serious about Reform

Celje, 11 August - Bishop Stanislav Lipovšek, who took over as administrator of the indebted Maribor Archdiocese on 31 July as both Slovenian archbishops had to retire at Pope Francis's request, believes the pope has demonstrated he is serious about his plan to reform the Church. But he also says the Slovenian Church did not expect such a "dramatic" measure.
