After Dubia Cardinal Carlo Caffarra's death on the first day of the Apostolic Journey to Colombia, Pope Francis let the journalists, who accompanied him, know, that he would not accept any question regarding Caffarra during the press conference in the plane on his way back to Rome.

The Italian blog Anonimi della Croce writes, that Francis was afraid of the question why he did not answer the doubts ("dubia") of the four Cardinals concerning his controversial document Amoris Laetitia.

So much for the sincerity of Francis' call for "open dialogue" within the Catholic Church.

perhaps he could just hide under his bed?

It is starting to unravel...

So the pope has his own plane and travels with journalists?

That’s better than silk, lace, incense and all the rest. He still gets that too.

good!

Silk, lace, incense, and all the rest are not a *personal* style statement, no more than a Marine's Dress Blues. They are the accoutrements of liturgical worship, and as such they suppress personal style. Perhaps this is the reason Pope Francis is known to dislike them.

In contrast, the jet-set lifestyle he shares in common with any secular celebrity, President, Premier, Prime Minister or Potentate--- that's all Francis. Prince Francis the Humble. :√P
