Keeping with the business metaphor, religion has been losing market share in the wealthiest and most developed markets, so maybe they feel it is time to bring in a new VP of marketing and try to reach the millenial demographic. I don't think it will work, but they must be desparate to try anything given the immense risks that you point out and perhaps permanent damage to their brand and most loyal customers.

Excellent expansion on that metaphor. On the surface it seems that this pope is trying drive Catholicism into bankruptcy, but I suppose I'm assuming that the man is rational in the first place. Maybe he's trying to turn that religion into a nonprofit. lol
