And it doesn’t seem like that’s going to let up.
There is no prestige that can withstand this daily offensive against the Cardinal Archbishop of Madrid. If, moreover, the fame of His Insignificance was already very scant, so many practically daily attacks on what practically everyone judges to be an intrusion without any basis must be lethal for him.
From that mess, he can only get out by declaring that without any representation, mistakenly and with the best intention of favoring the basilica and the monks, he signed a document for which he lacked any authority, so his signature lacks any value.
And thus it would definitively end this continuous succession of disavowals that are leaving him so badly off.
The other way out is to resign from a position for which, with all evidence, he is not qualified. And what natura non dat the capelo, evidently does not lend.
