The Pope’s Laxity Catches Up With Him

He dings the American bishops for a lack of credibility as his own takes another hit in the wake of a new Vatican scandal.

The accused bishop is Gustavo Óscar Zanchetta, a crony of Pope Francis’s from his days as archbishop of Buenos Aires. According to the story, Zanchetta, who has been accused of preying upon priests and seminarians, has long benefited from his friendship with the pope, first in Argentina, where Bergoglio orchestrated his elevation to a top-ranking position within the Argentinean Bishops Conference and then “made his fellow countryman a bishop right after becoming pope in 2013.”

Zanchetta didn’t last long in that post, resigning in 2017 under a mysterious cloud of priestly complaints and claims of poor “health.” He scurried out of Argentina without even saying a “farewell mass,” according to the story, only to turn up shortly thereafter on “Pope Francis’ doorstep in Rome,” where Zanchetta was quickly thrown a new papal plum: 

By December, Francis had created a position for Zanchetta in the Administration of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See, known as APSA, according to the Vatican’s own press statements from the time.

My Take - It appears he had to know of Zanchetta's sins.  The Pope is supposed to be concerned with issues regarding faith, but he's a socialist.  That's been made clear by the policies he pushes such as promoting Anthropogenic Climate Change, which is a tenet of faith of the left to destroy capitalism, which the Pope has continually spoken against. 

How can anyone be a socialist and a Christian when socialism is antithetical of Judaic/Christian ethic.  Socialism embraces atheism and works unendingly to destroy religion, especially Christian religion.  And one of the ways they've done that is by infiltrating the churchs with homosexuals. 

If that's so, and it is, how can a Christian be a socialist, even if he's a secret socialist, and be a Christian without being a heretic?   If the Pope is a heretic, and it certainly appears he is, what do the faithful do? 

Which brings us to a question I hear a lot.  Who picked this guy?
