The Stonewalling Pontiff

. . .it was an “armored” press conference held by the Pope [on Tuesday, September 26] on the flight which took him back to Rome after his trip to the Baltic Republics.  The Pope – who according to several correspondents on the plane appeared nervous & in difficulty – did not wish to respond to any questions which were not on the topic of the journey he had just finished.  Meaning there were no questions allowed on the McCarrick case, on the testimony of Archbishop Viganò, or on the case of Cardinal Murphy O’Connor. . .
