Vatican Secretary Of State: Pope Francis 'Serene' Despite Allegations Against Him
In an interview with Vatican Insider, the Vatican's secretary of state stated that Pope Francis is "serene" despite the "bitterness and concern" in the Vatican caused by allegations that Francis covered up for ex-cardinal Theodore McCarrick, who is accused of sexual misconduct.
Vatican Insider asked Cardinal Pietro Parolin, who was accused of participating in the alleged cover-up, “How is the Holy Father after these difficult last days?”
Parolin answered, "I saw a statement from the Vatican press office that says the Pope is peaceful. From what I saw (these days, I was with him during the trip to Ireland and after) it seems serene. The Pope is a great grace, even in the face of these things that obviously create so much bitterness and even restlessness. But he has the ability to have a very peaceful approach.”
