When it comes to reform, Pope Francis is not afraid to take matters into his own hands.
Francis and De Donatis have differed over the past few years on how to handle the covid-19 pandemic and the management, or mismanagement, of the diocese’s finances, as well as the vicar’s loyalty to the Rev. Marko Rupnik, a Jesuit priest found guilty of sexually and psychologically abusing at least nine women.
But the letter also pointed to an insidious danger that the pope has often condemned in churches everywhere and that he believes has taken root in his diocese: clericalism. But as Francis’s physical health deteriorated, and the concerns of the global church became more pressing, the pope’s visits to local parishes fell off. In 2017 he appointed De Donatis vicar and in 2018 made him a cardinal.The first public signs of tensions appeared early in 2020, when De Donatis issued a decree closing all churches in Rome to avoid the spread of covid-19. The next day, Francis criticized “drastic measures” in addressing the pandemic, forcing his vicar to issue a retraction.
