Cardinal Pietro Parolin’s statement that Pope Leo XIV might ‘reajust’ his pontificate after the operation has caused controversy in the Vatican. The Secretary of State’s remarks, made at an event, were described as ‘unfortunate’ by Vaticanist Nico Spuntoni, who noted Parolin’s recent series of setbacks, including his role in the Russia mission, opposition to the Domus Paul VI lease, and failure to secure the deanship of the College of Cardinals. Spuntoni suggests Parolin carries the ‘stigma of the defeated’ in the conclave and expects a meeting between the Pope and Parolin to clarify the situation. More: InfoVaticana
