Aldo Maria Valli: "when by the grace of God the truth began to emerge, I instinctively tried to attribute all the responsibility to Bergoglio's pontificate, but I soon had to recognize that Francis is only the last link in a chain and that, although he was particularly engaged in the work of destruction, it is impossible to ignore the responsibilities of the predecessors, including the two popes, Wojtyła and Ratzinger, whom I met in person and who in many respects were truly my popes, in the sense that they nourished my faith and guided my choices".
