“In the Vatican, there are things you found that you prefer not to know them.”

– I understand that to drive in the Vatican, it should be made of a special paste.

There is a phrase that I often use: “Rome Douma”, meaning that it is a city that imposes a certain containment, not rushing to the news. Here the press and shaking do not work, especially in the Vatican.

– Is it worth what he knows and silences more than what he publishes?

– There are many things that I know through the embassy that I cannot use, from the visits that are made and do not exceed, to special matters. When you do the Vatican information, there are problems that you discover that you prefer not to know it. From a financial scandal you must inform, but there are things of a simple rank that you can harm and save.

– Antonio Bellaio’s advisor in ecclesiastical matters to the Spanish embassy in front of the Holy See. What is your job? Does our politicians put a lot?

Diplomats come from a specific status or politicians here, smart people and with many qualities, but when almost not everyone knows everything. What are the rules, and why this date has been determined, and the reason is that he is traveling to Albania and not to Spain, and why he appointed two Spanish Cardinals and any American … or people have to invite the embassy to eat, any kind of general action that can be done. The counselor must advise, or because they ask you or because you see a suitable to provide it. I worked with eight differently different: from Paco Vázquez, mayor of La Coruña and the armed Catholics who knew about this, to others I will not quote that they did not distinguish a priest of Cardinal. This is where I enter.

– How is the ambassador of Silla for such a cassok?

– It is very smart, but above all. Everyone, regardless of his direction, received it and is well dealt with at short distances. I know that I have a package with Bergolio, which I have always indicated as “La Basque”, and with the ambassadors of her colleagues. There are 180 and many of them, you cannot communicate with everyone, but it smells and has been able to get a foothold inside the Korea. He lived these days with great intensity.

– Spain, the third country that brings most of the Cardinals, is not another.

The Spanish is the oldest embassy in Rome, so I do not exaggerate if I say that it has a stove and a certain degree of influence, because in Latin America, at least most countries still consider us the motherland.

– Any common concern?

Now migration, Mediterranean and Atlantic. In fact, the Pope was determined to travel to the Canary Islands, and it was formed from me. But of course, these things did not take place one morning, and in the meantime he died.

– I have seen many potatoes pass. What distinguishes Bergolio?

– It is first and foremost the proximity of the Pope, without exceptions. On the day of his death, Italy’s three newspapers came out with the same title: “The Last Pope”, in reference to the poor, the harassers, the immigrants … which was called “ignored.” To be beside him download his batteries.

Unpleasant

– Have you already made a swimming pool?

– Not because it is useless. Do not confuse desires and reality. I think one of them with many ballot cards is the Cardinal Parolin for two reasons: the first, a very traveling man who practically meets all the Cardinals, and the second, because they know it. But I repeat, hitting a lottery.

– One tends to see the church as deposits of virtues, but is there also a dirty game?

– I do not exclude that, because the Cardinate are people. I am sure they will seek to choose the Pope not only someone who feels to know him, but this is the Pope that the Church needs. They now discuss three things: how the world is, how the church is, and depending on these two teachers, any kind of potato that suits us. Now, in this range is unknown to many Cardinals, it will now be seen for the first time. Are these meetings Conciliabulos? Reaching that two -thirds of the number is very difficult. In addition, the flavor cannot be long, and I last more than two or three days devastating to the church because this can transfer the divided image.

– Is unity and monotheism the same in the Vatican halls?

– Not at all, it will be a very serious mistake. The unit must exist because in the end we all wander around the Pedro boat, but this monotheism is impossible: How can I compare the Cardinal from the Samoa Islands with others from Helsinki or Ghana? Forcing this monotheism over the paragraph in the church. There should be a unit at the ground, with regard to the diversity of each.

– Is the man of the Pope of certainty, or does he live in doubt?

– In life there are moments of doubt. If the saints have, how is it not for us. What the Pope cannot get is to get it in the basic matters.

– With 80 % of the Cardinals chosen by Francisco, is the continuity guaranteed?

– Yes and no. First, because this group of Cardinals is not homogeneous, there is a lot of diversity. He did not choose the papar because they were linked, but because they represented something that insisted a lot: the universality of the Church.

– What is expected behind you in the world of cramping?

The inheritance that this Pope leaves is closely related to peace and commitment to avoiding wars, such as those who now live in Ukraine or in Gaza. It is a problem that the next Pope cannot ignore.

– Francisco’s reform passion is safe or in danger?

– There are irreversible things. We will not return to the Pope with red shoes, Metra with precious stones or transportation in another Mercedes model. His style has stopped being an absolute king accepted by his hand, something that Francisco did not like anything. I think his successor cannot be counter. The Church stopped being hierarchical and more horizontal. You should take decisions that affect us all from everyone.
