CWN Editor's Note: Pope Francis received Nahuel Sotelo Larcher, Argentina’s Secretary for Worship and Civilization, in an October 11 audience.
“Today I met with Pope Francis,” Sotelo tweeted. “It is good to know that the Church always has its doors open to everyone.”
“Many times conflicts or interpretations contrary to the truth are fomented,” Sotelo continued. “It does a lot of harm to the country when certain sectors make partisan the figure of Francis.”
Sotelo is a member of President Javier Millei’s cabinet. In February, the Pope met with Millei, who had harshly criticized the Pontiff during his campaign. In March, the nation’s bishops critiqued Millei’s economic policies.
