Francis Cancels Roman Curia’s Lenten Retreat

Even the pro-Francis IlSismografo calls this announcement “curios” and surprising,” stressing that last year’s retreat was cancelled with the reason/pretext of Covid. Now it will be cancelled because Francis “wants” it so “but the reasons will not be known.”
With some sarcasm, the outlet adds that this retreat with Francis would have been a “splendid opportunity” to make the ongoing “synodal journey more tangible, visible and comprehensible.”
But by now, it is clear to everybody that for Francis “synodality” is only a smokescreen.
