Since this letter was made public, I assume it is intended for us all. I would like to know the center of mass of this "concentrated attack" against Pope Francis. Is it in the hiding place of Archbishop Vigano? Is it in Kazakhstan, Philadelphia, Texas, Switzerland, Italy, China? These are surely among the hotbeds of what countless prelates accuse of "conservatism," whatever in Hades that word would mean in terms of Catholic faith and practice. We do not attack. On the contrary, we defend.
