Monsignor Gustavo Zanchetta, a close friend of Francis and a convicted homosexual abuser, is in Rome.
According
to MetroNoticias.com.ar (20 November), he is being treated in the
Italian capital "because his trusted doctors are there".
Zanchetta
has heart problems and high blood pressure. It is likely that the first
of these two conditions is the reason for his medical trip.
On 4
March 2022, the former Bishop of Oran was sentenced to four years and
six months in prison for simple homosexual abuse, aggravated by the fact
that it was committed by a recognised clergyman against seminarians of
the Diocese of Nueva Oran.
However, Zanchetta was allowed to
spend his "prison time" in the Virgen del Valle convent of the
Conceptionist Sisters, located in the 9 de Julio district of the city of
Oran.
It is unclear who authorised the transfer and where the funds to pay for these trips come from.

(21 November) points out that Francis is directly responsible for
creating and covering up the Zanchetta scandal.
Zanchetta - like so many other homosexuals - has always been particularly close to Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio.
He
was one of Francis' first episcopal nominees. As soon as news of his
nomination broke, a large group of priests from Quilmes, Zanchetta's
home diocese, sent a letter to Francis saying that Pastor Zanchetta was
not fit to be a bishop.
He is alleged to have offered a person a
job in a school in Florencio Varela "in exchange for some [homosexual]
service" and to have abused seminarians under his command. He was also
accused of 'economic mismanagement'.
Of course, Bergoglio didn't
care. Zanchetta was consecrated and enthroned. But four years later he
resigned for 'health reasons'.
The secretary of the diocese of
Oran denounced him because he had found on his mobile phone, in addition
to pornography, several selfies in which Zanchetta appeared "naked,
with his genitals exposed and in a masturbatory pose".
Some time
later, a complaint was lodged by two seminarians from the diocese of
Oran. They claimed to have been subjected to homosexual abuse by
Zanchetta on several occasions.
Zanchetta fled to Rome. Instead
of sending him back to face his crimes, Francis appointed him, who was
accused of economic mismanagement, as an adviser to the Administration
of the Patrimony of the Apostolic See, with a salary of several thousand
euros.
But the pressure grew and Zanchetta had to return to
Argentina to stand trial. He was found guilty and sentenced to four and a
half years in prison. He did not last long in ordinary prison, but was
soon placed under house arrest in the Conceptionist convent in Oran.
Caminante-Wanderer.Blogspot.com points out that this is yet another example of Bergoglio's duplicity and double standards.
"Zero
tolerance" is Francis' motto when it comes to Father Fernando Cornet,
who was "excommunicated" last week for denying Francis' legitimacy.
Bishop Pedro Martinez also received 'zero tolerance' when he decided
that women could not be altar servers, after which he had to resign from
his diocese. Bishop Strickland received "zero tolerance" when he
criticised Francis for teaching heresy.
"However, there is
tolerance for those accused and convicted of [homosexual] sexual abuse.
In such cases, the mercy of Francis is shown in all its splendour, like
the plumage of a peacock".
