Those are the famous first words of the Queen of the Night in one of the most famous arias in operatic history (from Mozart's The Magic Flute) -- and they describe well the feelings of "peace", "dialogue", and "mercy" inscribed in the heart of Jorge Mario Bergoglio when he deals with anyone he deems as an adversary.
In true Peronist fashion, to the enemy, "not even justice."
So it was with Archbishop Georg Gänswein, secretary of the late Pope Benedict XVI and former Prefect of the Papal Household, and still 66 years old -- sent by Francis back to his home diocese (Freiburg in Breisgau, Germany) to do absolutely nothing.
The previous private secretaries were given real jobs: minor ones, such as the Territorial Prelature of Loreto (for Paul VI's Pasquale Macchi), or major ones, such as Stanisław Dziwisz, made Archbishop of Cracow and Cardinal.
Well, good for Abp. Gänswein, free to write and speak about everything he's seen from the "King of the Night" since 2013.

Although the music of The Magic Flute, as with all of Mozart's works, is heavenly, the opera, if you've ever seen it, is ghastly, strange, and weird. And smacked of Freemasonry which is diabolical and deadly, like the words from the Magic Flute quoted in the article.
Mozart's mysterious death at such a you age could be very well attributed to his involvement in Freemasonry, not unlike those before, like George Washington, and since, where they have you curse your future lineage and bow to an unknown dark prominence who later is unveiled as Lucifer himself.
If Abp. Gänswein thought he was ever going to be seen as having successfully trod some sort of golden mean between, on the one hand, upholding the damaged dignity and nursing the handcuffed intellectual gifts of a responsibility-fleeing Vicar of Christ, and, on the other hand, duly signaling subjugation and faithfully advancing the petulant priorities of a vengeful and reeling antipope, he had another thing coming.
