The entire "progressive" world is delirious for the death of Pope Francis. The "Pope of the Poor" - as he was called - leaves this world praised for his positions in favor of migrants and refugees, against "social inequality" and for the "defense of peace."
Of course, the truth is that Francis was chosen by the Roman Catholic Church at a time when the Vatican was plagued by the revelation of pedophilia scandals, embezzlements and corruption.
These scandals, in which the major actors were top-ranking Cardinals, were known to the previous Pope Benedict XVI, the so-called "Rottweiler," who hastily resigned at the age of 85 under the weight of the disclosures. Francis, who succeeded him, proclaimed the "purification", "modernization" and ultimately the... rebranding of the powerful Church, with the support of economic, religious, and geopolitical centers.
It should be noted that the Vatican is not only the seat of Catholicism but also a powerful decision-making center with global influence on developments. The election of Francis, with the "human" profile that was crafted for him, served as the perfect alibi for the atrocities of the Roman Catholic hierarchy, as well as one of the many laundries for the crimes of imperialism, which continue unabated, with the support and tolerance of all its political and religious institutions.
