“would be irritated ... according to a high-placed source close to the Argentine Pope.”
Shaky.
I’ve seen many positive statements about Medjugorje attributed to John Paul over the years. I’ve even seen one or two attributed to Cardinal Ratzinger/Pope Benedict. When asked directly about these statements about Medjugorje attributed to him and John Paul, then Cardinal Ratzinger said all the statements were a total fabrication.
Ordinarily I would agree, but in this case the circumstantial evidence is hard to ignore. His actions against Burke have demonstrated that the Cardinal and his teachings are non grata.
