They tell me from Argentina about the defenestration of the nuncio.

«Indeed, the bombshell has made itself felt. The ‘misericordiada’ of the Nuncio in Argentina was described as an ‘earthquake’ by episcopal sources in that country. A bishop from the metropolitan area of Buenos Aires, a good connoisseur of ecclesiastical power, said that ‘he ended up paying for his extreme docility to the francisquista whims. Very intellectually limited, he did not shine either for his courage or for his independence in circumstantial matters. In recent times, it is true, he complained about his almost insignificance in the porteño post. With the Argentine pontiff, he was practically a cadet; a low-category employee, only in charge of notifying his boss’s decisions. Something like a postman, dedicated to delivering someone else’s mail; without art or part in it’.

The influential prelate also said that ‘in any case, his confrontation with «Trucho» Fernández was known. On more than one occasion, he described his management in La Plata as ‘disastrous and vengeful’. Will this defenestration be the prelude to the appointment of «Trucho» as Archbishop of Buenos Aires?’.
