No One Will Come: Argentine Bishops Divided over Francis' Visit

Francis feels betrayed by a good part of the leading Argentinean bishops who, according to him, did not do everything possible to take votes away from Milei in favour of the Peronist/Socialist Massa, writes La Cigüeña De La Torre (InfoVaticana.com, November 23)

• At the moment, Francis is targeting a handful of Catholic Argentinean bishops - who can be counted on the fingers of one hand - whom he considers an obstacle to his ideology.

• These prelates are good shepherds and faithful, but they do not shine and keep a low profile.

• Their apostolic zeal and disinterest in "careerism" arouse the envy of the mediocre Argentine episcopate, which is plagued by ignorance, ambition and greed.

• In December, Francis will send a visitator to one of them. According to Caminante-Wanderer it is Puerto Iguazú Bishop Nicolás Baisi

• Many leading bishops don't think Francis should visit Argentina.

• Cigüeña quotes one of them: “The most difficult thing, however, is that we bishops are not in a position to guarantee a massive mobilisation for Francis' events.”

• “The recent electoral campaign has revealed a lot of rejection and indifference towards Francis' figure.”
