Francis: "It is difficult to work with this Pope"

Pope Francis thanked Genoa Cardinal Angelo Bagnasco, the outgoing president of the Italian Bishops' Conference, for his ten years of service notably "for the patience he has had with me." He added: "It is not easy to work with this Pope." Francis spoke at the opening of the general assembly of the Italian Bishops in Rome. Talking to the bishops he encouraged them to speak without fear, "I am ready to hear opinions that are unpleasant to me."

In realty Francis has a long history of punishing or eliminating those who contradict or criticise him.

Yes he is ready to hear truth, so that he might crush it. Do not trust papa Francis.

I think we should all write Pope Francis and, if necessary, begin with the words, "I have been told you are ready to hear opinions that are unpleasant to you..."
