Tucho: "Dishonest to Claim that Leo XIV Erases Francis"
Leo XIV has repeatedly stressed continuing Francis’s teaching, Cardinal Tucho Fernández told IlGiornale.it on 13 April.
He gives examples: At the January consistory, Leo XIV asked the cardinals to reread Evangelii Gaudium, and to reflect on its application again. Furthermore, Leo XIV has convened the presidents of the episcopal conferences to resume the reception of Amoris Laetitia.
"These are signs that help us understand that Francis is not gone."
Tucho’s view is that “it is dishonest to claim that Pope Leo intends to undo the work of Francis’s pontificate.”
"There are many points of common ground between Leo XIV and Francis; more than opposition, one should see complementarity."
Additionally, Tucho recalled that when Francis first called him as Pope, he said, “I am Bergoglio.”

The mission of Leo XIV will be to “calm the waters,” asserts the pro-gay Masonic “rabbi”—who denies Christ—Abraham Skorka, a friend of that reprobate of unhappy memory, Jorge Bergoglio.
Skorka states: “We must not forget that the new Pope is, so to speak, a product of Francis. Francis saw him in Peru—he saw what this man accomplished in Peru—he fully identified with his work, brought him to the Vatican, and *made* him—to use the correct verb—a cardinal; it was as if he sensed a certain chemistry.”
I would love to throw a big bucket of Holy Water over Kissy Tucho and kick his alphabet donkey out of the Vatican - that's what Pope Leo should do if he had a shred or spark of Catholic courage.
The continued retention of Kissy himself as the Prefect of the Holy Office is the actual and best empirical proof of the veracity of this statement by him. Leo walks in Francis’ shoes.
Tucho feely does speak the truth. Leo embraces and magnifies all that Francis did.
