El Vaticano se dirige al Papa

El Times de Londres, conservador diario británico, publica una noticia que me atrapó desde el encabezado: "El Vaticano le dice al Papa que él debe delegar más deberes".

En un noticia que envía el corresponsal John Follain desde Roma, se ve que cosas raras están pasando a partir de que siempre es el Papa es el que manda, pero parece que extraño aire "colegiado" está asomándose...

"Breaking the Vatican’s traditional reserve on such matters, senior Cardinal Mario Francesco Pompedda, an expert in canon law, said John Paul should delegate more power in the management of the Church.

He told an Italian newspaper: “I would see nothing wrong with certain bodies, which already exist, being used in a greater fashion to lighten the Pope’s burden in the universal government of the Church.”

He said that a greater say could be given to assemblies of cardinals and the heads of Vatican congregations and other departments.

The Pope has repeatedly made clear that he has no intention of resigning, but age and ill health, including Parkinson’s disease, arthritis and the effects of repeated surgery have forced him to scale back his workload.

Vatican sources said that even before he was admitted to hospital last week the Pope was incapable of writing anything longer than a sentence or two. One cardinal who refused to be named said the pontiff was working only three hours a day.

The Pope’s illness has created a power vacuum, with the Church effectively run by Cardinal Angelo Sodano, the secretary of state, and Archbishop Stanislaw Dziwisz, the Pope’s personal secretary...."
