The Level of Francis' Appointments: Missing Cardinal Speaks of "Stupid Prank"
Spanish-born Cardinal José Luis Lacunza, 79, of David, Panama, has described his mysterious two-day disappearance in Panama as a "stupid prank".
"It was a stupid prank, something I didn't do when I was 15 years old, and I did it now when I'm about to turn 80. The older I get, the more stupid I get," the Cardinal told parishioners at a Eucharist on Sunday.
This is the shocking level of the cardinals named by Francis. "I want to apologise and ask for your forgiveness for the displeasure I have caused you in recent days," Lacunza said at Sunday Mass (4 February).
The prelate disappeared last week and was found two days later disguised as a layman in his car in the Panamanian province of Chiriquí.
This is the first public explanation of the cardinal's disappearance.
The "normal and synodal thing to do" would be to clarify what really happened, La Cigüeña De La Torre wrote on 3 February on InvoVaticana.com, "but that's not going to happen".
