Francis "Secretly" Gave Cardinal's Ring to Prelate Who Covered Up Abuses

en.news4 years agoedited

On 8 October, Francis received Ghent Bishop Emeritus Luc Van Looy S.D.B., 81, Belgium, along with other Salesians, ostentatiously kissing his ring - a practice Francis normally abhors. The Vatican media went to great lengths to publicise this show gesture.

Then Belgian media reported that the ring Francis kissed had been made for Van Looy in September by order of Francis. Van Looy told Nd.nl (30 October) that "it is something between the Pope and me", adding that he had not received this ring publicly and therefore it should not be reported publicly.

To say that something is "not for the public" while at the same time making it public is taking the public for a ride.

Francis had announced in August 2022 that he wanted to appoint the anti-Catholic Van Looy as cardinal. But Van Looy had to decline after reports that he had been involved in "covering up" abuses.

Yes. And pray that the gossip and slander against Pope Francis may also end.

thomasvalle if you accept the fact of pope BXVI being then Constitution of the Catholic Church forbids any other pope exercising the Petrine Ministry... Therefore we Catholics should pray for pope Benedict XVI, canonically elected, and act to remove the usurper, especially pray so Francis stops the destruction of the Church based on factual and legal circumstances...

The only thing these types of posts accomplish is the spreading of gossip, the formation and dissemination of calumny directly or indirectly and the persecution of the Holy Father..

The criterion of Francis has nothing to do with moral behavior. Rather, it is whether someone is useful to Francis and his plans inspired by the Geist.

Thomasville-- you do not know, nor does anyone actually, if XVI gave up his post voluntarily or was black mailed out.
