France is as fresh out of moral heroism as it is out of modern military heroism. Note that this situation suggests that Francis, the mistake of the most recent conclave, is, contrary to media reports, quite willing to judge those who mistake the anus for a sexual organ. And, while I am normally critical of his papacy, good for him!
Nevertheless Francis refused to withdraw Stefanini’s name.
I think this should read “France.” The donor country withdraws the name, not the recipient head of state.
