A
well-informed Vatican analyst has reported that over Christmas Pope
Francis personally ordered three priests to be dismissed from their
duties in the Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith.
According to Vaticanist Marco Tosatti, Pope Francis ordered Cardinal Gerhard Ludwig Müller, prefect of the congregation, to dismiss the priests because of an unknown incident. Maike Hickson, writing for OnePeterFive, discovered that the three priests are of Slovakian-American, French, and Mexican nationality.
