In an email to the establishment agency AP Sire said that he defends the sanctity of the papal office against an incumbent who, as many Catholics now see, "falls notably short of the character that has been expected of a pope for centuries”.
AP states that Sire paints a sometimes brutal portrait of Francis but admits that even Francis' supporters say that it "bears some truth”.
