The background is Francis’ vicious rule forcing everybody to co-preside in St Peter's. MessaInLatina.it writes about “embarrassment and anger,” a “chaos of celebrations” and a mismanagement by Cardinal Mauro Gambetti.
Woelki was sent away by two lay-people hired by Gambetti, Ettore Valzania and Giovanni Pingitore.
An anonymous confrere of Woelki complained to the Secretariat of State that “lay people, kicked out of the various seminaries around the globe, now set out to explain to a Cardinal when and how to celebrate.”
