Marco Tosatti published on January 21 a list of embarrassing figures whom Pope Francis prefers, protects and defends.
He mentions first the Cardinals who contributed to his election,
Danneels,
McCarrick,
Mahony,
Murphy OConnor, and Errazuriz who is involved in the Chile abuses.
Tosatti adds the names of Cardinals he created like
Farrell,
Wuerl,
Tobin, and of bishops he supports or supported like
Barros,
Pineda,
Zanchetta,
Peña Parra, adding
Monsignor Ricca and the case of Argentinean Father
Julio Grassi.
Tosatti further notices that since 26 August Francis refuses to answer
accusations that he hushed up the McCarrick case.
According to Tosatti Francis may prefer people who have skeletons in the closet, Who is more obedient and loyal than the one who is afraid? A pontiff who governs not with the Gospel but with dossiers?
