Vatican Pension Fund: The Tragic Argentinean Mess Bergoglio Has Created
"There is a widespread impression that everything is being rushed. The Vatican is in a very bad financial situation, and the pontificate of Pope Francis has not only not solved the problems that were already visible before Francis' election, but has increased them."
"You do not govern with interviews and letters, but with wise decisions and proper laws. This mess is the result of a communist or Peronist government, if you like. Bad management, lousy management, a lot of verbiage, a lot of populism, makes donations disappear".
"The Commission for the Reform of the Curia, more than ten years ago, pointed out with precision the problems of the pension and health fund, ten years of chaos, to see that what was announced is now taking place."
"In Pope Francis' peculiar way of governing, as soon as a serious problem arises that can no longer be hidden, a letter is sent to soothe tempers and assign blame for the problems."
"The annual deficit is serious, but much more serious are the commitments made to workers and their families, which Pope Francis clearly says we cannot honour. For this we are synodal and we walk with great joy and together towards ruin".
"There is a new letter with which Pope Francis communicates a new mission for Cardinal Kevin Farrel, a former Legionary, a McCarrick boy whom nobody trusts, the man who covered up for McCarrick for years when he was his vicar general and auxiliary bishop and lived in the same house with him. Now it turns out that he is going to be the solution at the age of 77".
"The problem is certainly not the clergy, most of whom return to their home countries before reaching retirement age."
"The question that many in the Vatican are asking today is: does it make sense to make all this public? What image do we give of this state? Holiness, these are twelve endless years of lack of control, years of chaos, of lack of government, and the consequences will be paid, as always, by the poorest".
"The dream of a poor Church has already been achieved, and with distinction, and we are on the way to becoming a factory that produces poverty".
