Cardinal Becciu Resigned, Dismissed As Cardinal

In a mysterious move, Francis accepted the resignation of Curia Cardinal Angelo Becciu, 72, as the Prefect of the Congregation for Saints, and even from "his rights" as a cardinal.

Vatican.va published the news at 19:59 as a one-line statement without further information. The resignation is perhaps related to a sexual or financial scandal.

An October 2019 raid directed against Becciu was about “blatant irregularities” in the administration of money when Becciu worked as the second man in the Vatican’s Secretariat of State under Cardinal Parolin between 2011 and 2018.

Becciu is the forth Cardinal who loses his office in hundred years after Cardinal Louis Billot (1927) and the homosexual offenders Keith O'Brien (2015) and Theodore McCarrick (2019).

Maybe you're sure of that @Zeccchy but the Vatican doesn't like badly managed private greed, especially with a Marxist Pope running the show. Selfish greed is too close to capitalism for left-wing Latinos.
Somebody lining his own pockets with the Church's funds instead of lining the pockets of pro-abortion US Democrat political candidates? That's a serous sin in Pope Francis' catechism.More

Interesting
No running away from this Pope Francis:
Around the corner.
Rev 19:20 (RSVCE)
20 And the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who in its presence had worked the signs by which he deceived those who had received the mark of the beast and those who worshiped its image. These two were thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with brimstone.More

The move was unexpected. Becciu should have presided over the beatification of Carlo Acutis in Assisi on October 10.

Edward Pentin and Bree Dail write that Cardinal Becciu’s direct oversight of the London Property Scandal (200 million Dollars) is a significant reason for this unexpected resignation.
