What follows are some important segments from the article, accompanied by my simple comments. [Bold type is added for emphasis.]
Heidi Schlumpf writes:
“At a meeting of scientists and church leaders from around the world, members of the Pontifical Council for Culture unanimously approved a petition asking Pope Francis to waive the “Monitum” against Teilhard de Chardin’s writings that has been in effect since 1962.”

The Monitum of the Holy See declared in no uncertain terms that Teilhard’s writings were ambiguous, dangerous, and offensive to Catholic doctrine. But his fans today want Francis to undo what the Supreme Congregation of the Holy Office declared, and to take the man’s doctrines out of the grave and elevate him to the level of… a Doctor of the Church!
