No, it is the supposed high ranking gay church leaders who are being blackmailed, not the Pope. The Pope just shipped somebody off to South America as a nuncio and it was somebody one of his closest Cardinal friends told him to fire last year. Now it seems to be a promotion not a firing....the Peter Principle takes a new twist!
Don’t worry, God is in control and there will be a celestial spanking to clean up the globe one of these years.
I thought that all the speculation was about why the Pope is leaving office.
