Editor’s Note: In the next 7 days, what the Cardinals all learned today about the financial problems is going to weigh on their minds. The Cardinals in charge of these parts of the Vatican finances explained the problems. Obviously, they personally are unable to solve them. This implies that an outsider must be elected the next pope.
So far 180 Cardinals are present. But only 124 electors have arrived. The two Cardinals who will not vote due to illness have not yet been identified. The Vatican spokesman said their names would NOT be divulged, “because they are struggling with health problems”! — This is bizarre. Not knowing their names, how can the public verify that they are not attending willingly and freely, rather than because they have been threatened or coerced or blackmailed into not attending?
However, in the Italian version of the same report, we get a lot more information, for example, that Cardinal Puljic will be attending, but because of his health, he will vote from his room at Santa Marta. Santa Marta not being big enough, some Cardinals will reside at Rome, outside of Vatican territory during the Conclave. — This is very concerning, since these Cardinals would be able to be in communication with foreign governments, to be influenced or coerced, bribed or blackmailed.
Here is the google translation of the Italian version:
