Francis’s surprisingly blunt statement ruling out women deacons was (judging by what we’ve seen so far) the headline story from the 60 Minutes interview. They weren’t in a hurry to publicise it, were they?
Excellent piece by Weigel Catholic World Report (yes, I'm the editor), which includes this question: 'Why has Father Marko Rupnik, whose sins and crimes of sexual abuse are among the vilest, most satanic on record, not been reduced from the clerical state, forbidden to function...'
Why did 60 Minutes not ask #PopeFrancis about #Rupnik or Zanchetta? RUPNIK UPDATE: On May 8, Rupnik’s alleged victim, Gloria Branciani, appeared for the first time on Italian television (with her lawyer) in a further attempt to obtain justice. Video here: mediasetinfinity.mediaset.it/video/fuoridal…
