Jorge Bergoglio . . cold? . . distant? . . mean?
One would have to read fellow Argentinian
Elisabetta Pique’s biography of Jorge,
covering his PRE papal years—Pope Francis:
Life and Revolution . . Biography of Jorge Bergoglio/
2013/ Loyola Press/ trans. Anna Mazzptti &
Lydia Colin/ per amazon/ books.
A veteran reporter and close friend, Pique met
Jorge in 2001 . . followed him attentively ever
since. Her account of FRANCIS’ pro-poor, do-it-
myself, personalist—and later Perónist—style
shows up in these early years.
Regarding the 2nd “big scoop” of 2023 [ Team
Francis’ hitting on Nuns of TRADITIONAL religious
communities ] seems perfectly in sync with
Francis’ AIDING AND ABETTING Rupnik ’s
degrading attacks on a whole community of
[ non Traditional ] Nuns .
P.S.
Reporter Elisabetta Pique’s account of Jorge
Bergoglio not only gives a detailed account of
his pre-papal years but also of the the first
years of his pontificate.
Chapter 17 – 19 [ “The Resistance”; “A Left-wing
Pope?”; “The Gay Lobby: Is The Honey-Moon
Over?” ] detail Francis’ discovery of Rome’s souces
of long-unaddressed corruption.
“But he stays calm; [ Francis ] is convinced that
God put him where he is, and that the Virgin,
St.Joseph, and St.Teresita [ Ste. Thérèse of
Lisieux ] are protecting him and will go on
protecting him as long as Divine Providence
wills it.” [ ch 17, Resistance ].
