CWN Editor's Note: The American critics of Pope Francis “are very, very nosy,” but “they represent just a small group,” according to Cardinal Christophe Pierre, the apostolic nuncio in the US.

Cardinal Pierre—who received his red hat at the consistory this past weekend—said that his experience in the US has persuaded him that criticism of the Pontiff is not widespread. He suggested: “I think it’s more correct to say that we live in a society which is divided; we live in a society which is polarized.”
