According to Vatican insider and Francis biographer @austeni
:
• “… Prevost and Francis used to meet for two hours every Saturday morning in the Casa Santa Marta, where Francis lived.”
•
“Arthur Roche, the English cardinal [and archnemesis of the TLM] who heads the Dicastery for Divine Worship, told me that Prevost was without doubt Francis’s ‘closest collaborator’ in the Vatican during the past two years.”
• Pope Leo “has made clear that he will continue to build the synodal Church of which Francis dreamed, while likely reformulating some of the themes of Francis’s pontificate in more Augustinian terms.”
Recall that Ivereigh’s book The Great Reformer: Francis and the Making of a Radical Pope (2014) is a primary source for details regarding the St. Gallen Mafia and 2013 conclave: lifesitenews.com/blogs/they-gav
