• The Roman clergy is unhappy after Francis’ chaotic changes in the diocese.
• Cardinal Vicar De Donatis, whom Francis has demoted, was not present at the meeting, which was attended by Vicegerent Baldassare Reina, an auxiliary bishop.
• The meeting was not publicly announced and Reina assured Francis that the few priests present would not bother him.
• However, the priests were not afraid to tell Francis that they felt accused by him and always reproached.
• They criticised the chaotic changes in the Roman diocese, and said that Francis was running the diocese like a manager and not like a pastor.
• The choice of Auxiliary Bishop Di Tolve as rector of the seminary whom Francis imported from Milan, was described as inappropriate – as if there were no priests in Rome for that post.
