Tagle, Parolin and now Prevost, all Bergoglians too tainted by their record to be Pope

Prevost does not deny accusations of cover-up and regrets that information from the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith has been published

Rome. Yesterday afternoon, while the eyes of the entire Church are focused on the upcoming conclave, InfoVaticana had an unexpected meeting with Cardinal Robert Prevost, Prefect of the Dicastery for Bishops and widely considered one of the leading candidates to succeed Francis.

The Cardinal criticized InfoVaticana for publishing the full report detailing the serious accusations of cover-up of sexual abuse during his time as Bishop of Chiclayo and Augustinian Superior in the United States.

But what was truly revealing was not his gesture, but his words. Far from denying the veracity of the documents, accusations, testimonies, or facts contained in the report, Prevost expressed his frustration and pain because "you have published confidential information from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith" and referred to the victims' desire to remain anonymous. In no way did he deny the information or the extremely serious accusations against him.

This scene confirms something that was already evident: the ecclesial left has been openly campaigning for Prevost, positioning him as their ideal candidate to continue the agenda of the current pontificate. And yet, yesterday, we saw a portrait of the defeated candidate: a man frustrated because the shadows of his past have come to light and, with them, his aspirations to the papacy are crumbling.

It is significant that both James Martin and Austen Ivereigh—with whom we met hours earlier—have reacted with the same attitude: neither denies the accusations, but all are deeply upset that they have been published. For them, the problem is not the facts, the problem is that they are known.
