Easiest and safest I guess to wait and hear whether the institution itself offers a reconciling interpretation of what happened. Maybe after another pope or two--or five. All will be well in the end, I'm sure. Now go and say your prayers. (It's not like this is worth risking eternity in flames.)MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02341704109256270557noreply@blogger.com
