The question is what justice is the justice of the Church and if it does not need more transparency in the key to the reform that is always spoken
What cannot be denied is that in this pontificate there are a series of unpublished facts in the recent history of the Church. One of them is the number of judicial processes that affect cardinals and bishops. For various reasons, in … The list appears cases such as Bishop Zanchetta, Cardinal Becciu, Cardinal Pell, who rests, and now Cardinal Cipriani, among others.
