| A tricky footnote in fine print |
Gianluigi Nuzzi’s
Merchants in the Temple is fascinating. He says that on July 28, 2013, in the Sala Bologna in the Vatican, Francis addressed “all the key players who administer the money and the property of the Holy See.”
“The Holy Father took the floor. He delivered an indictment that would last sixteen minutes, using harsher words than had ever been expressed by a Pontiff to the assembly–words that were supposed to remain secret…but that would not be the case. Foreseeing the risks that his innovative action would entail…someone recorded the Pope’s charges, word for word.” (p.11)
