(Rorate Caeli) Let no one be fooled: the current incessant notes and gossip about Cardinal Pell’s brilliant job in reorganizing the finances of the Holy See/Vatican City State are not really about money… They are about his brave and unbending defense of the very words spoken by Our Lord Jesus Christ Himself on marriage, divorce, and adultery. Even the Italian journalists make fun of the sudden “reappearance” of Vatileaks, once again involving the Secretariat of State, and now directed not against Benedict XVI (not a threat anymore since his resignation), or Cardinal Burke, duly demoted, but Pell, who must be forced out. As Sir Thomas More and Cardinal John Fisher, Pell is in the way and must go.
Which is why the Cardinal’s short note on marriage and Henry VIII needs to be published and made known as widely as possible. That is why he is being bothered: it’s not about numbers and expenses at all, it’s all about the “new doctrine” on marriage…
