As one commenter said, 'I’m old enough to remember when the Bishop of Rome said Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper in St. Peter’s Basilica and the corrupt cardinals came to him'.
From Fr Z's Blog
On Holy Thursday, commemoration of the institution of Eucharist and Holy Orders, Francis went to the apartment of disgraced Cardinal Becciu for a private Mass, rather than celebrate in public. According to Vatican News there were present a few sisters and some members of the Focolare movement.According to Agenzia Nova, Francis did not intend this move as a “rehabilitation” of Becciu, who because of various financial antics was stripped of his Congregation and no longer has the right to vote in a papal conclave. Instead, this was pastoral gesture on the part of Francis.
I wonder which Feast Francis will choose to go to Card. Pell’s apartment.
