Vatican City: Pope Francis has issued a blistering critique of the Vatican bureaucracy that serves him. He has denounced how some over lust for power, live hypocritical double lives and suffer from “spiritual Alzheimer's” that has made them forget they’re supposed to be joyful men of God.
Francis’ Christmas greeting to the cardinals and bishops who run the Holy See was less a joyful exchange of holiday good wishes than a sobering catalogue of what Francis called the “ailments of the Curia” that he hoped would be atoned for.
Francis has not shied from complaining about the gossiping and power intrigues that afflict the Vatican. But as his reform agenda gathers steam, he seems even more emboldened to highlight what ails the institution.
