The Vatican spokesman and his deputy resigned on Monday over disagreements on strategy, ending a year of upheaval in the Holy See's communications structure.
History will not record that 2018 was a banner year for Pope Francis and the Church of Rome. The pedophile priest sex scandal now includes
dozens of bishops, Pope Francis repeatedly tried to
cover things up and suppress evidence, and just for good measure he tried
blaming the victims.
"And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration." Revelation 17:6 (KJV)
So it is little wonder why people keep quitting his administration. In fact, I find it amazing that they haven't yet called for his resignation. The Church of Rome is in a mess that just keeps getting messier. But all that will change after the Rapture when all the Christian are removed, giving the Catholic Church free reign one more like they did in the Dark Ages.
FROM THE TELEGRAPH UK: A brief Vatican statement gave no reason for the resignations. Spokesman Greg Burke, an American, tweeted that he and his Spanish deputy, Paloma Garcia Ovejero, had quit to let Pope Francis appoint a new team in what was a "time of transition".
A Vatican source said both Burke and Ovejero had wanted more autonomy from the Vatican department that oversees all communications, known as the
Dicastery for Communications.
They quit two weeks after Pope Francis appointed a personal friend, Italian journalist Andrea Tornielli, to become editorial director of all Vatican communications.

The source said it was believed to be the first time both posts had changed hands simultaneously, underscoring the differences of opinion.
"Paloma and I have resigned, effective Jan. 1. At this time of transition in Vatican communications, we think it’s best the Holy Father is completely free to assemble a new team," Burke tweeted.
The 59-year-old former Rome-based reporter for Fox News joined the Vatican in 2012 as an advisor in its Secretariat of State and become spokesman in 2016. He is a member of the conservative
Catholic group Opus Dei.
Ovejero, 43, a former reporter for the Spanish radio network COPE, was one of the few high-ranking women in the Vatican.
