From Fr. Z's blog post:
Not content with writing just a resignation letter Viganò extends the agony with a missive of some 350 words including a review of human history, a summary of the pontificate, excerpts from Bible, a pie recipe, and a wedding toast. Seriously, all he needed was, “Your Holiness, with the present letter I submit my resignation. Thank you.” But, no.
Not content with writing just “Resignation accepted”, His Holiness – who wouldn’t have been blamed for falling asleep as he read the above-mentioned – responded with 180+ of his own, in which, incredibly, he REHIRED Viganò as “Assessore” – a kind of second in command – of the same office he screwed up to the global embarrassment of the Holy See. Apparently Francis wants Viganò around so he can still “give his human and professional contribution to the new Prefect”.
