Up risen canceled! Such as the Italian media report, the dominant and unknown Italian cardinal Angelo Becciu does not want to participate in the pope elections under all circumstances. During a general municipality on Monday, the 76-year-old suddenly spent the floor and his change of heart announced.
Becciu was a close confidant of the late Pope Franciscus for seven years as number two in the State Secretariat. The Pontifex itself had promoted him to Cardinal. In September 2020, however, at the end of a conversation, the content of which was never revealed – Francis had, as it were. The reason was unclear at that time.
At the end of 2023, Becciu was the first cardinal in the history of the Catholic Church that was sentenced to a five -year prison sentence and six months by a court in the Vatican. The process was about questionable million deals in a real estate scandal in which he was involved. However, Beccius has not been entirely clear since then.
After meetings, “with different people” came back
He emphasizes that the offices had been removed, but in 2022 an invitation to the consistory, ie for collecting cardinals, rehabilitation. This also emphasized that in his statement on Monday. After the “meeting with different people”, however, he left his project – “to prevent further damage to the church state,” reports the Italian daily “La Repubblica”.
