Clash: Damian Thompson Resigns As Editor in Chief Of Catholic Herald
The Catholic Herald is owned by the British businessman Rocco Forte, a non-practicing Catholic, and German born Princess Michael of Kent. Both are very much part of the British establishment.
To explain his stance, Thompson pointed to his interview with Raymond Arroyo last week on EWTN where he criticised the forthcoming Amazonian Synod and called to “cancel this wretched ‘synod’.“
Thompson will do weekly podcasts for The Spectator, where he is an assistant editor, and be “free to tell you what I really think”.
His “first tweet as a free man” criticized Francis concerning the new Viganò revelations,
“It’s now obvious that Pope Francis is deeply implicated in terrible scandals. My concern isn’t theological: it’s the spectacle of a corrupt pope, something I never expected to see in my lifetime.”
