Francis’ Next Scandal: Cardinal Turkson Resigns

Cardinal Peter Turkson, 73, the Prefect of the Dicastery for the service of integral human development, has resigned together with the other heads of the dicastery, MessaInLatino.it (December 16) writes.

The dicastery was created in 2016 by Francis. Turkson will remain in office until December 31.

MessaInLatino.it doesn’t know the reason for this drastic decision. Turkson was a faithful executor of Francis’ whims.

Fired or resigned? Big difference.

Turkson seems a dull, reliable loyalist which earns him no thanks. Perhaps Turkson erred in not allowing one of Bergie's girls to steal development money, given how the real estate and banking is busted. We will get a partial explanation at best, or none at all.

Sorry, but I don’t, for the life of me, see what is in any way “scandalous” about Curial personnel changes brought on by the will and order of the Holy Father. All who serve in the Vatican do so at the pleasure of the Supreme Pontiff, who has full, immediate and explicit power to make changes at any and all times in accordance with his own will, desire and purpose.

Sorry, but I don’t, for the life of me, see what is in any way “scandalous” about Curial personnel changes brought on by the will and order of the Holy Father. All who serve in the Vatican do so at the pleasure of the Supreme Pontiff, who has full, immediate and explicit power to make changes at any and all times in accordance with his own will, desire and purpose. It’s what Popes - all Popes - do, and have done for centuries now. Can’t we all just calm down and enjoy this wonderful Advent Season and rejoice in the birth of our Lord? Without projecting some nefarious machinations falsely upon our Holy Father? Can we not, for just one minute, cease this madness, at least for Christmas?

Joy to the world, the Lord has come!!!!

SonoftheChurch, thanks for your wisdom. I am nevertheless still confused at seeing no support from the official hierarchy for the people that do not want to inject their children with the mRNA repeatedly from now and forever.

How I wish I could calm down and enjoy advent, instead of worrying I will not be strong enough to avoid injecting my daughter to avoid her being so isolated (in Canada, no sports or travel for the unvaxxed)

@U S Spacy Don't feel TOO guilty! I doubt if the Holy Virgin and her Divine Son will be feeling much "Joy" during these evil times either.
Onwards and upwards - continuing to serve the Church! The TRUE Church that is 2000 years old!

It's a scandal only if wrong-doing is disclosed. Right now it's an enigma as even the source cited doesn't know.

Despots always hold on to power by making sure that their underlings never get a foothold.
