...Pentin further reports that the books were apparently destroyed after being taken...

...Third, it raises serious questions about the motives and leadership of Cardinal Baldisseri, who has already gone on record with some contentious statements apparently aimed at those defending Church teaching on marriage, divorce, remarriage, and Communion.

The Pope learned everything he knows about governance from Argentina. ‘Nuff said?

He’s a secretive bully with no respect for the law, a populist touch, and an inner circle that knows they have his backing to do whatever they want...while he maintains “plausible deniability.”
