✣ Media storm erupts over Bannon and the Pope
What happened? Donald Trump’s chief of staff Steve Bannon has been accused of “carrying his battles to the Vatican”. Jason Horowitz, Rome correspondent for the New York Times, reported that in 2014, when Bannon was head of Breitbart News, he had met Cardinal Raymond Burke in Rome. The paper suggested that the pair shared opposition to Pope Francis – since Cardinal Burke is one of the four cardinals who have submitted the dubia asking for Amoris Laetitia to be clarified.
