Father Bergoglio – Unsuitable to be a Bishop

The book “The Dictator Pope” by Marcantonio Colonna knows about the assessment Father Bergoglio received from the then Superior General of the Jesuits, Father Peter Hans Kolvenbach (+2016), when he applied for a dispensation from the rule forbidding Jesuits from becoming bishops.

According to Colonna Father Kolvenbach accused Bergoglio of a series of defects, ranging from habitual use of vulgar language to deviousness, disobedience concealed under a mask of humility, and lack of psychological balance.

Regarding his suitability as a future bishop, Kolvenbach pointed out that he had been a divisive figure as Jesuit provincial. Bergoglio was seen, at the time, as a champion of Catholic conservatism in the mode of John Paul II. But he also had the habit of saying diametrically opposing things from one day to the next.
