-Updated December 31, 2017 Is Pope Francis the silent voice friendly with tyranny while President Trump is the voice for freedom? On December 31, Newsweek in an article titled "Pope Francis Hated 2017, Calling it a 'Wasted' Year of Death and Lies" reported that Pope Francis said: Humanity "had 'wasted and wounded' the past year 'in many ways with works of death, with lies and injustice'...

(Zonalcale.it, May, 3 2016) Papal biographer and Crux editor Austen Ivereigh and all of Francis's inner circle as well as loyal supporters know that Forte spilled the beans on the Pope...
