The problem is that the three top guys in the Order of Malta take a vow of obedience to the Pope - and it is on the basis that Francis demanded his resignation.
But in this context, Boeselager himself was supposed to be obedient to Festing and the Council. They twice asked him to resign and he didn’t. And it was only then that they stripped him of his office.
And Francis has now gotten rid of Festing and reinstated Boeselager. So what does that tell you?
It tells me that Francis is very fond of sin.
