“Largely convincing” pseudonymous treatment of incumbent pontiff.
The title above is the name of a book that appeared Monday in English (after earlier publication in Italian) by a writer who has assumed a grand Renaissance pseudonym: Marcantonio Colonna (an admiral at Lepanto).
He evidently could not publish under his real name, for fear of reprisals.
But the case he lays out is largely convincing: that Pope Francis has carefully cultivated an image in public as the apostle of mercy, kindness, and openness; in private, he’s authoritarian, given to profanity-laced outbursts of anger, and manipulative in pursuing his agenda.
Lifetime appointment, yes (or was before Benedict chose not to serve, in a move that had then Archbp Bergoglio dancing for joy, as the book relates.
