Francis: Cardinal Sarah Is "Bitter" and Archbishop Gänswein "Has Hurt Me"

Archbishop Georg Gänswein "did some very difficult things to me", the vengeful Francis claims in his interview book 'El Sucesor'.
His example: When he replaced a head of a Vatican department, whose name he doesn't mention, the decision sparked controversy: "In the midst of all the noise, the secretary took the initiative to take him to see Benedict, because this person wanted to greet him. Since the retired Pope was very friendly, he accepted".
The problem was that "the photo of this meeting was circulated, as if Benedict had reacted to my decision". Francis complains that "honestly, it wasn't right". But it is unfair to blame Gänswein, who was Benedict XVI's secretary and had a professional duty to forward the request to his superior.
It seems that this case doesn't concern the "head of a Vatican department", but Monsignor Livio Melina, president of the John Paul II Institute for the Family in Rome, a long-time collaborator and personal friend of Ratzinger, whom Francis dismissed …More

Who cares what liberal modernists say about conservative modernists? Both are enemies of Tradition, and therefore the Church. In the French Revolution, the more fanatical Jacobins hated the more reserved Girondins, but both were committed to the Revolution. Same with democrats/republicans. Same with liberals/conservatives in the Church: Both are committed to the conciliar revolution destroying the …More

Francis: "Maybe I made a mistake in naming Cardinal Sarah prefect of the now-Dicastery for Divine Worship." "From there he was manipulated by separatist groups, but he is a good man." "At times I have the impression that working in the Roman Curia made him a little bitter."

I am increasingly inclined to consider the possibility that this man has mental problems.
For you psychologists out there - what personality disorder best describes explains
this behavior ?

Narcissism
I suppose referring to Pope Benedict XVI as "ex-Pope Benedict XVI" (rather than "former") is grammatically correct, but enemy view almost unseemly. if we can refer to former Presidents, Senators and Governors, etc., without including the "ex," it seems to me we should do the same for our former popes--regardless of what we may have thought about them during their reigns.

Enduring the Bergoglio era is much better than any penance I could have thought of for myself.
