However, Sarah rebuked Henning, “This analysis is wrong.” He underlines that the book is “not opposed" to Francis.
Sarah even takes the Vatican's spin doctor and VaticanNews.va editor in chief, Andrea Tornielli, as his witness: "The text published this morning [January 13] by Tornielli is correct.”
Tornielli said that Ratzinger and Sarah write “in filial obedience to Pope Francis,” and that Francis himself said similar things on celibacy "which is not a dogma" as if the dogma was of any importance in the Francis Church.
