The tone of press coverage of Pope Francis is changing
Last week was another rough week for Pope Francis. In fact, it’s been an increasingly rough series of weeks. A good bit of the bad press could have been predicted. His series of morning fervorini from the Domus Sanctae Marthae that began on September 10 and ran through two full weeks – in which he made oblique but clear and repeated reference to the Viganò affair, comparing the bishops to Christ and those calling for accountability to the mob that cried for Christ’s innocent blood – did little to calm the crisis.
