LifeSiteNews reported: "[T]he words of the priest who signed the second document [testimony], "Zanchetta was a personal friend of the Holy Father." (LifeSiteNews, "Pope Francis knew of Bishop's abuse years before Vatican posting, new document indicate," February 27, 2019) Pope Francis's "personal friend" Archbishop Gustavo Zanchetta, who apparently lives "in Casa Santa Marta, where Francis himself resides," is a gay pervert according to the document. (Lifesitenews, "Vatican sex abuse cover-up unravels as prosecutors home in on bishop protected by Pope Francis," February 18, 2019) That is unless the testimony on Zanchetta by Argentinian Church officials is only them lying through their teeth about the "personal friend" of Francis.
