In a certain anti-Catholic pamphlet , they have been very upset since the cardinals elected Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Pope, who adopted the name Francis for reasons that he himself has explained.
The director of that medium presents the Pope as if he were some kind of sixties revolutionary who is going to turn the Church upside down. He says:
Some do not want to hear about reform or change or rupture, much less revolution. No matter how calm it is. They pretend that, with Pope Francis, everything remains the same as before. Or with simple tweaks to the shapes and signs. They are the ones Telegram Number Data who have been directing the ecclesiastical mess for the last 30 years, imposing their unique thought and occupying all spaces, without leaving the slightest opportunity for healthy ecclesiastical pluralism.
Today he is dedicated to launching hypotheses about what the Pope can do with the Vatican bank (IOR). He believes he can eliminate it or turn it into ethical banking . As a power, he can do whatever he wants, but let us remember that practically the last important appointment of Pope Benedict XVI was precisely that of the head of the IOR. It does not seem easy for Pope Francis to take over that institution overnight. And for the record, I don't care what he does about it.
The second in command has seen fit to put the following pretitle and introduction to the news that was top of the line for a few hours:
"Let's hope they let him work, and that he doesn't end up like poor John Paul I." The Curia and the conservative movements fear that Francis will "bury" the post-conciliar involution.
Note that they were the ones who brought up the name of John Paul I , whose premature death left the entire Church with a very bad taste in their mouths. Certainly nothing suggests that Pope Francis will suffer the same fate. Although he is not exactly a kid, there are no known serious illnesses in recent years . We know that they had to remove part of one of his lungs when he was 21 years old because pneumonia became very complicated. Aside from that, they comment that he has arthritis - that's why you won't see him kneeling much at the consecration - and the typical "leaks" that men have at that age.
Look where, right now I am reading “The Jesuit”, conversations with Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio, SJ. Written by a Jewish rabbi.
I quote a question and its answer:
—By the way, are you thinking about your own death?
—She has been a daily companion for a long time.
-Because?
—I spent seventy years and the thread left on the spool is not much. I'm not going to live another seventy and I'm beginning to consider that I have to leave everything. But I take it as something normal. I'm not sad. It makes one want to be fair to everyone in all situations, to finally do—let's say—English calligraphy. Of course: it never occurred to me to make a will. But death is in my thoughts every day.
He who began to consider that he had to leave everything is now at the helm of the boat of the Lord. It's what the Lord has. You make some plans and He comes and puts you where He wants . God will tell if the “reel” of Jorge Mario Bergoglio as Telegram Number Data Pope is a lot or a little, but it will be good if they stop throwing insidious schemes given the possibility that we are facing a papacy that will not last long . Furthermore, let us remember that three years were enough for Blessed John XXIII to convene an ecumenical council.
These people, who are also prophesying that the Pope is almost going to destroy the new ecclesial movements - see the hatred that this article oozes - and who are walking as if in a state of ecstasy because the Holy Father has said that the poor are his priority, He has no qualms about wanting to increase his current accounts by publishing, in record time, books about the new bishop of Rome. They cheer him with one hand while they put the other to receive the money that his arrival at the Chair of Saint Peter provides them . In other words, “money is money", or as they say in a certain Spanish region, “la pela es la pela".
Finally, everyone assumes that this Pope is going to reform the curia. I don't know anyone, be they progressive, conservative or semi-pensioner, who does not agree that something must be done so that we stop witnessing scandals that reveal unedifying internal struggles. Without a doubt, the person to whom the Holy Father entrusts the task of being Secretary of State will be key.
