The Other Scandal

. . .The Pope’s popularity in Italy has dropped from 88 percent in 2013 to 71 percent in 2018.  But you’d be mistaken to think that the decline has to do with Archbishop Viganò’s charge that Francis had covered-up for Cardinal McCarrick.  The poll was taken before that story broke. . .
