VATICAN CITY: The late conservative Australian Cardinal George Pell was the author of an anonymous memo condemning Pope Francis' papacy as a"catastrophe" where political correctness held sway while global wrongs were ignored, says the journalist who published it.
"Decisions and policies are often 'politically correct', but there have been grave failures to support human rights in Venezuela, Hong Kong, mainland China, and now in the Russian invasion," it adds. The general treatment of many subjects discussed in the memo is similar to the way Pell spoke of them in public, including in an interview with Reuters in 2020. But the document, written with a view to the election of the next pope, becomes more personal and scathing, including naming specific people.
