Francis Is About to Promote Another Loser
Retired Messina Cardinal Francesco Montenegro, 75, will head the Vatican's Dicastery for Integral Human Development, Italian media write.
As so many others, Montenegro owes his ecclesiastical career to his incompetence, conformism, and opportunism.
The Dicastery for Integral Human Development is a waste of money and time, a conglomerate of five Pontifical Councils which could have been abolished without anyone noticing.
Since one of its collaborators – Michael Czerny – is also a Cardinal, a permanent conflict with the prefect is inevitable. This has caused the resignation of the present incumbent.
Like Francis, Montenegro is an ardent supporter of human trafficking. In February 2018, he claimed that opposing mass-immigration, organised by human traffickers, is “the greatest sin.”.
